I did a bunch by eye before I knew there WAS a tool. Seems like a guy could McGiver something using the shaft as a templet. Or use a different shaft from a junk yard.

a shaft from a junkyard will work, but you should be able to find one at most parts stores

I've done a few on other vehicles just by eyeballing and feeling it - with the pressure plate on really loose, was able to move the clutch disc around by hand. Just move it up and down, then side to side, and leave off with it centered halfway between the limits, as you snug up the pressure plate bolts.
