Hi I found the link below useful. It is for a BMW, but the procedure is the same. I got away with the very basics (punch, drill bits, cordless drill, masking tape and junior hacksaw) and did a good job.
The specific measurements for the saab strut come with the Koni inserts when you buy them.
I made the mistake of tightening the bolt at the bottom of the strut as hard as I could with an 8mm allen key and some loctite. They came loose in a couple of week. I had to take them off the car then using a newly purchased 8mm allen socket and torque wrench did them up to spec.
Also if you want to paint up the housings in a matching color - Plastikote school bus yellow will do it. If you can afford powder coating go for it. I had a hard time not scratching the paint during install.
Good luck
