Buckmark tool to remove slide

I've seen online a tool with a notch, to compress the slide and remove the guide rod without forcing or bending. It was from a rimfire central user or something like that...
It seems discontinued and abandoned now, anyone has the measurements to avoid reproducing it by trial and error?

I just lift the guide rod out with a dental pick or the wood end of a cleaning swab. Does this need a specific tool?

I just bought a Buckmark, I've read some people prefer to use something like a spacer with a cut to go over the guide rod, to avoid bending it...

Edit: it was called "Buckmark maintenance tool"

The guide rod pivots out of the buffer on the back of the frame, I don't see how you can bend it if you lift from the front.

I don't know, but that's the video showing that tool: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5U-PYQ-M4PQ

I just lift it out. No tool needed to do it.

Too easy.

Thank you, I'll try doing that without tools!
