Default Tool J23709

Will be bleeding brakes on my 71 GTO in near future. Shop manual says to use this tool to hold in the pin/plunger that is located on the front of the metering valve. Apparently this is necessary to bleed the rear brakes, so I assume once that is done I remove the tool, release the pin in order to bleed the front brakes. Is that correct? This tool is only needed to bleed the rear brakes? Got a look on line at this “tool” which is nothing but a piece of sheet metal with a 90 degree bend in one end and a slot cut into the other end. You would not believe what some people are asking for this thing. I can make one in 20 minutes from scrap!
