there's that rotafix method to tighten cogs, I suppose you can do the opposite to take one off.

you can do it keeping the chain on and the wheel in the shit.
its some italian method or something that ethan from bike kitchen showed me once. try googling cog "no chainwhip" w/o something i dont fucking know, but it can be done ive seen it.
you need a rag to protect the tubing from being scratched.

Sometimes using the right tool is the way to go.

dude, rota fix ... its easy and it's way stronger than a chain whip.
and for the lockring use a flat screwdriver and a hammer
