I have been looking around for a few days and could not find what I was looking for, so a new thread it is. Feel free to say "search noob" if I should have found this elsewhere.

My question is about the Special Tool 8429, Chrysler Secondary Camshaft Chain Holder. Is there a way around buying this tool, something that could easily be fabbed up, or should I just pony up for the tool and maybe sell it used after the job?

This is the tool:
