Just bought Technics SL1000 MK3 need to buy/borrow platter removal tools

Just purchased a Technics SL1000 MK3 turntable and need to purchase or borrow the platter center disc removal tool and the (2) platter removal handles so that the seller can properly/safely remove the platter for shipping.

Does the bearing need support like the SP10 MK2 does for shipping?
I have had SL1000 MK2's for years, but this is my first SP10 MK3.

Any packing suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your detailed reply.
I'm hoping for something already made, as this is needed so that I can get the seller to ship the turntable to me. 
I would be able to make the the handles, and I have been to Colbys home and have met with him a few times so I will contact him for the disc removal tool to see if he can still make one.
For now though, I'm trying to get something just so I can get the turntable shipped.
Hopefully Colby can help with the issue I have with the B-60 clone base (play with sleeve when going up/down).
Again, thank you for the detailed plans!

Rick
