There is an actual Saab tool for compressing the tensioner. It has two pins that engage the notches, and a bolt on top. You stick a socket on the bolt and crank it down - this pulls the pins together, compressing the tensioner.
I've actually used this Saab tool, under the watchful eye of a Saab Master Trainer. And we both watched the Saab tool fail spectacularly as one of the pins snapped off. At that point, we grabbed a 19mm socket on the end of a breaker bar, and compressed the shock the Old Fashioned Way.
If this tool works for you - great. Just crank it SLOWLY. I also recommend lubricating the threads.
