Ask Abit about the cost (please tell us when you find out).
A puller isn't necessary but I highly recommend that you use one. The BIOS chip is in a PLCC-Socket. Get a PLCC-Tong.

Get your bios chip here.

I once left my puller at home and had to lever out a PLCC chip with a couple of flat blade watchmakers screwdrivers. It took me about half an hour to lever up each side a tenth of a mil at a time. A puller is the right way to do it.
I am ashamed to admit the first time I used a puller I pushed down too hard instead of just squeezing and snapped a corner off a medium-cost chip while the boss was watching.

A makeshift tool really isn't the correct way but if you must...
Try very small screwdrivers or bent some paperclips something like:

Real Americans would use this...
