I can give you a partial answer.
The tool for a screw with two holes is called a spanner. You can get them pretty cheaply on Amazon or at other places. (E.g. this item.) Or you can improvise by using, say, two nails and a pair of pliers.
Seals, including the mirror bumper, are easy. If you e-mail Jon Goodman (jon_goodman@yahoo.com), he'll sell you a properly cut set for your camera and will provide a very good set of instructions. For about $10.
You can try a filter wrench (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAPdfGZK6GY).
I would use a small file or saw blade to cut two grooves in the filter ring adapter, and then use a spanner wrench (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Professional-Stainless-Spanner-Opening/dp/B00J5F6ZI2/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1483806955&sr=8-10&keywords=spanner+wrench) to twist it off. Be very careful not to damage anything else. Goes without saying that the filter adapter won't be usable again once it's off with this method - not that it matters most likely.
There’s actually a tool for this, it’s called a Spanner Wrench:

That said, the big flathead solution mentioned above is what I’ve always used.
What camera is this? I believe this is the tool you’re looking for. https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Professional-Stainless-Spanner-Opening/dp/B00J5F6ZI2/ref=asc_df_B00J5F6ZI2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309763890402&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12438393495488460539&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9014317&hvtargid=pla-347938689790&psc=1
Well, you can send it somewhere, decide it's just a shelf decoration... but if it's non-functional and you don't want to pay for repairs or can't find someone to work on it, it's kinda "what do you have to lose"... probably all you need is a good quality japanese screwdriver (JIS, size 0 and 00) and possibly a cheap spanner wrench. On mine, once the front is off, I think it's all just small screws, and there's a lens group that just unscrews like a bottle cap. Take photos with your phone of each layer, etc. (Some people have a "this is fun stuff!!" mindset, some it's terrifying... I'm more in the latter camp). I rarely shoot 35 anymore, but mine is such a little monster, that Rokkor lens is impressive. Shot this at dusk in a blizzard, on auto, thought I was just wasting film, but the detail was surprising.
