+1 Get a lock ring tool, or take it to the LBS. To me, not having the right tool means either buying the right tool or paying someone to do it. Since I like tools, I prefer the buy the tool option. A decent lock ring tool is needed for several jobs.
The Hozan tool is excellent, but Park also makes a fixed cup tool with a lock ring spanner on the other end.
