It might be worth approaching your local dealer. They might be prepared to lend or hire you the crank locking tool. Alternatively they might sell you one. My local dealer had it listed at about £50 about a year ago.
I can recommend the proper tool. It turns what can be a risky awkward business into a straightforward job. I was lucky enough to be able to borrow one.
Alternatively some people here have made their own substitutes for the official tool which may be another option for you.
