I assume you are talking about the metal spacer / sealing ring that goes between the seal and the cog on the end of the crank. Correct me if I'm wrong!
I think it comes down to luck.
Some people have reported that they could pick it out with flat blade screw drivers
Some people have said they needed the special tool (I think this is essentially a collet type affair)
In my case I gave up removing it. When I removed the crank for other reasons I decided to tackle the bugger. In the end I had to drill a hole in the spacer ring so that I could wedge in a cold chisel and then hammer the little twat off of there => it was stuck - really stuck - no effing way some fancy special tool was going to remove that one!
