Default AC clutch drive plate removal tool

1998 Acura CL V6 J30A1 PREMIUM
I'm trying to find/purchase the correct AC Clutch Drive Plate Removal Tool for my car. So far I have only found tools for GM vehicles. If someone could direct me to where and which tool I need, I would appreciate it.
I don't want to completely remove the plate. The plate is grinding and I just want to(for now) back it off to stop the grinding. I intend to install a new clutch plate assembly(after some further troubleshooting).
*Help choosing the correct assembly would be appreciated as well(98 CL Premium V6 J30A1)*
Thanks in advance.

Its just a spanner wrench. Any number of aftermarket tools will work.

This is the Acura factory tool. The part number is in the description.

FWIW, the compressor has seals and bearings inside of it. If it has over 100k, it would be wiser/cost effective to replace the whole unit.

A brand new Denso compressor is relatively cheap. (Id also use Valeo or a 4Seasons compressor. I am unfamiliar with the other brands listed)
