I've got the Triumph tool it's a right pain to use!

Yeah, I found gettin' clutch basket to spin truly and hence pressure plate to apply pressure truly, interesting. Found well used brass nuts can get ground off a bit by springs, and not necessarily all showing the same amount of thread to get even pressure. Triumph tool bit awkward but good old screwdriver ground out in middle accordingly works well.

Cant beat modifying a knackered old screwdriver to give it a second life. Love it!

Yeah well I love custom builds T140V cases with a four speed box putting the gear selector on the right (the correct side).
Took the clutch apart degreased it and generally cleaned it up looks ok and within service limits apart from the push rod it's not well bent and burred to boll@cks

New rod and gaskets ordered

Get it on e-bay as a collectible item, some idiot will pay £50 for that original Triumph push rod.

I used to have one - looked like a modified screwdriver blade at on end and a push bike tyre lever at the other, if I remember rightly. One day I might delve into the darkest reaches of my dilapidated old tool box to see if it still lurks therein.

I think it would be a bit too small!
Worryingly, I am getting strange urges to see if I can find it. Best not to do it now though, SWMBO would be less than impressed.
