These are special service tools...most likely made by V. L.
Churchill....that were part of the requirements of Triumph Dealers' Service.
They were designed by Triumph to aid in servicing the cars and then required
as part of being a dealer.
The tools are pictured in the Factory Service Manual - Part No. 545254 (and
the Bentley reprint). I have added the page numbers above, beside the tool
numbers. The first is a main shaft ball bearing replacer, the second is a
hand press, the third is a gearbox mainshaft ball race remover/replacer
adaptor, and the last is a constant pinion remover adaptor.
In many cases, you can use other tools to do the job. Many clubs also have
either purchased or obtained these tools and lend them out to members. some
are even available for purchase through TRF but the high cost often makes
such purchase impractical for the individual owner.
If you can't get the drawings, let me know and I'll try to get a scan of the
tools.
Cheers
Keith
