Don't know about the special tool, but a deep offset 24mm box end wrench will work on the strut nut, and you can hold the end of the strut's threaded rod with a Vise-Grip, Channel-Lok, crescent wrench or open end wrench, or what-have-you.

Stahlville tools (www.stahlville.com) sells a deep offset 19 X 24mm box end wrench (their part number 20-19X24) for $20; check the "closeout" section on their website (they even indicate it's a special Volvo tool). I have used this tool for the top strut nut with success, holding the threaded rod with a big crescent wrench.
