fixed gear conversion

Hi all

So after months of procrastination, I finally ordered the hub and rim for my fixed gear conversion and I started to think of the build. The rear drop out spacing is 135mm and the hub is 120mm. I have an old steel frame and I realize I will have to compress the rear triangle to fit the hub. How do I go about doing this accurately? Is there a tool that will evenly pull both sides of the frame inward or is this a job to be done by hand and eye?
