Its done numerous time without that tool. I wonder at not at half of people here doing it have any sepcial tools for it.
If its manual, get someone to help you, put gear to 4th and ask your helper to push brake as hard as he/ she can,
while you open bolt with big wrench/ anything available. Just turn engine by hand to point where
you feel it dont have " any pressure", by that you minimise engine will against valves. Then just change belts,
get marks right, and again ask your helper to pull brake with 4:th gear, and torque bolt with " locking grease"
as much as clutch will hold, and its enough.
If its automatic, you need pneumatic tools to open bolt. Of course easier to do with manual too by that.
But, no special tool needed.
