Hi Javier,

The only way that I am aware of is to actually make the tool. However, if you don't get them exact then you will have cam codes. Anytime we are dealing with these types or engines, I would not attempt this procedure without these locking tools.

Here is a video so a technician basically saying the same thing on a 2000 MY vehicle:
