If you are handy with pieces of steel and other hand tools (saws, files, etc.), you can fabricate your own 8ve insert remover - or you could adapt a crab fork to use as one as they're about the right size and only have the two prongs which can be filed to fit the holes in the 8ve tops.

An adjustable one is usually better as it will cater for nearly all makes, but a fixed one will suffice if it's only your own instruments you need it for.
