The guy before you probably used a pipe wrench, but hopefully
you can come up with something better.
It looks like my Mk 6 could have used an open end wrench on the
flats below the top most piece, but guessing the Mk 5 is different?Can you use a couple of roll pins for the pipe wrench to engage
instead of directly on the flywheel nut?

The best tool for removing Ratchet, Starter part # 22680
is Mercury Service Tool M-60-557 Starter Ratchet Wrench
as shown on page # 25 of Mercury Service Tool Catalog
posted in Old Iron part of this site.
Lacking the specific tool, you will have to pad a pipe wrench,
jam rope into cylinder thru spark plug opening
and keep in mind Righty Tighty, Leffy Loosey…
I have sometimes found Mercury Service Tools at
club swap meets. Once bought a bucket of the
clamps used on 6 cylinder engines….found I had
no use for them and sold them bucket and all
at another meet for the same dirt cheap price
I paid and had to enlist a trusted member to
assure buyer the tools were what he needed
and I was not a crook.
There are some Mercury Service Tools with a simple
work around and others where the Service Tools are
VERY nice to have.

I have made a couple from exhaust pipe scraps.
I spent quite a bit of time on my first one. I
don’t think I spent 30 min on the second.

Those coils are no longer available however
you can substitute the OMC style coil with a
little work.
