Default Can anything be improvised as a clutch alignment tool?

I seriously can't find the tool anywhere around here and I must have called every auto parts store within 30 miles. I've only been able to find them online but delivery takes a week to two weeks and I'm not paying $50 for overnight shipping on a $3 part.

Is there anything that may be lying around I can use? l read something like a socket might work lol, anyone use that method before? And what size socket would it be? (D16z6 tranny)

I know I could just try it out myself and see if it works but I just wanna see if anyone else has improvised using something else and had success.

I would try Advance but there's no stores located near me even within 50 miles...
Pepboys, Autozone, Kragen, NAPA, and some small shops is all I really have around me, none have it.
