I know what you're saying - waiting for stuff to come in the mail is a pain. Count your blessing you're at least in the same country as Pelican... I'm very much of the belief in the right tool for the job, but understand that's not always an option.
In a pinch, I think the metal bar in the holes would be ok once or twice, but a screwdriver won't be strong enough - it'll just snap. But you found the right tool anyway, so that's good.

as some have said...leverage is your friend. first time I tried this just using tool nearly tore my hand off. Added a couple of pieces of two foot pipe to the process and finally broke free. You want to make sure and not rotate the engine the wrong direction, just FYI...can cause bad things to happen.

I have this off. A friend lent me the proper tools. Now that I have reinstalled the belt it is too tight. I am currently troubleshooting that.

Search here on shims - you should have 6, and you move them around (inside or outside the pulley hub) to adjust tension on the belt.

2 shims inside and a continental belt usually works. 6 total.

I have a 10mm on. Fits with 4 in, 2 out. At least it does today. Make sense?

9.5mm usually takes two. 10mm, maybe 4, so check it again after running for a day or two.

I used PB Blaster a few times over about 15 hours. I got a proper spanner wrench (Pelican variety) and a 24mm 1/2" socket. No cheaters necessary.
It was very useful to position the spanner so it pressed against the engine mount.
