[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 63351, member: 2806"] My contribution to this thread is the following: [ATTACH=full]13042[/ATTACH] (note: the photo doesn't show up in the preview but a link to it does; apologies in advance if the image is missing) When I got my Vincent in the early '90s I also put together a pretty complete collection of M.P.H. as well as all books and manuals. Whenever I ran across the description of a special tool in any of that material I made it in preparation for use in what may be the world's slowest restoration... Having not used most of these tools I don't know yet whether some might be useless, unneeded, or better replaced with something else. With that disclaimer in mind, proceeding from top to bottom and left to right the identification I wrote on the tools when I made them are: Rear spring claw removal wrench 7/8" x 8" rod for locking engine (through small end of con rod) 0.755" straightening clamp for UFM ESA nut removal sprag 5/16" tapered rod for mounting degree wheel 0.36" ID x 0.44" OD valve guide removal drift 1.6" ID clamp for flanging front exhaust pipe Peen for steering damper disc (2) 3-1/2" rods for spindle assembly Oil pump removal slide hammer 7/8" expanding mandrel for gearbox bearing removal (and adapter for slide hammer) Half-time pinion puller 9-hole ESA spanner Not shown (because I forgot to take a photo of it this morning) is a large Al plate with appropriate spacers for mounting the UFM on an engine stand to allow it to be rotated through 360-deg. Also not shown are special tools that I could purchase (e.g. valve guide lockring tool). [/QUOTE]
