If you think you'll be doing your own service work again in the future, just buy the tool. This is coming from one of the country's biggest cheapskates.
Or go to your local bike shop and ask how much will it cost to spin that sucker off for you. It'll take them all of 30 seconds to do it vs who knows how long it takes to jerry rig something and probably damage it besides. That's the magic of having the proper tool.
