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, JP.  Otherwise I would have to un-stick the Boston Audio Mat2 in order to visually inspect the platter lift holes. Or go onto the Soundfountain website.

What do you use to stick it?  I just set mine on without any adhesive.

My bad. The BA Mat2 is not stuck to the mk3 platter. I foolishly did that with the BA Mat on my Lenco.
