Mauser barrel removal

How can I remove and replace a barrel on a 98 Mauser action without a barrel wrench and action wrench? I don't want to tweak the action. I've been trying to rent them but haven't had any luck.
Since I was a boy I told myself I would build a custom Mauser sporter. I have a nice 1909 Arg. action. I've lightened the trigger installed a new safety and figured out what caliber I want. I have the Brownells Dicropan bluing system and this is the last fly in my ointment. I've pondered buying the tools and then selling them when I'm done but that seems like a pain. this will be my first and only Mauser project. Any ideas?

Its best to use the right tools you can make your own but for the money your better off doing it right.
Besides once you have done it its addictive, You can do other rifles and if you take your time you can build some very nice looking and very accurate rifles for yourself or family.
Good luck
