Mine is a M44 and I did it without the tool with no issues at all. I specifically put the M44 flywheel back on my crank just to pull the crank pully bolt.

As I stated above if you find a bolt and nut then use the nut to force the bolt into the flywheel pin loction it will pin it nicely and you should have no issues at all removing that front crank bolt...If you want purchase the tool or get creative and find a bolt and nut for free and save $100.

The fun part is torqueing the bolt to the right spec when you put it back together...
