This one actually left me stumped for a little while. All the resources I could find only indicated to keep the existing tensioner compressed. And they even provided diagrams to build a tool to keep it that way. But what if you want to replace the tensioner or simply let it decompress by accident? Well, you've got two options (at least that I've seen. There are probably more).
1. Buy the $60 specialized Saab tool that has to be special ordered and will take a week to get to you.
2. Go down to your local Home Depot or Sears (or equivalent store) and purchase a mini quick clamp (about $10). Buy one of the small ones and you'll be able to fit it into the difficult area where the tensioner is located. The pressure exerted by one of these little hand clamps is quite impressive. Here's a link to see what one looks like:

Hope this helps.
