If you want to make your own tool I'd suggest looking over the tin cans
available in your kitchen. Something shallow like a tuna fish can is
best if you can find the right diameter. Anyhow look for some sort of
cylinder whose outer diameter is just right to fit inside the filter
thread. A cylinder is a good starting point since the center needs to
be hollow for enough depth not to press on the glass.
Once you find the right size cylindrical object you can make it "grippy"
by gluing on a large strip of rubber band using contact cement. I've
also used rubber furniture leg cups designed to protect the floor.
Whatever you choose the real challenge is finding something the right
diameter. Using rubber stoppers for large diameter glass laboratory
tubes also works well since you can hollow out the center to clear the
glass and also trim the diameter if necessary.
Good luck,

I once read in a repair book to use a rubber kitchenglove and apply
pressure with a (sturdy) glass with the proper diameter.
Good luck.

Other than that I used stoppers I had borrowed from the chemistry lab at
the university, they come in various diameters and worked fine.

Actually looking for advice on the removal of the front element of a
Zuiko
135mm f3.5.
Standard advice for removing the name ring is to use a soft rubber
stopper, press firmly while twisting. If you can find a bathtub stopper the
right diameter, that's great. Should be new(ish), so it is soft and grippy.
With a regular flask stopper, it may be necessary to gouge out the middle
of the face to clear the front element.
People sell sets on the 'Bay, and I believe Fargo has them.
