Tools for tire and wheel work
Tire levers help with tire removal and installation, while rim savers provide a barrier between a lever and the rim. For wheel-building and setup work, the category also includes a truing and balancing stand. Check the individual product listing before ordering to confirm the tool and its intended use.
Tire mounting carries serious risks if the tire, rim, tools or procedure are unsuitable. Bridgestone’s motorcycle tire safety and maintenance guide advises having tire mounting done by a qualified tire service provider.
Specialty tools for brake service
This collection includes a caliper plug removal tool listed for Norton Commando 750 and 850 disc brakes, as well as a bearing-retainer pin spanner listed for specified Triumph and BSA models. These are job-specific tools: check your bike’s year, model and assembly against the product listing and its workshop manual before you begin.
For additional background on period brake systems, read The Bonneville Shop’s Triumph hydraulic disc-brake service bulletin. You can also browse workshop tools for other equipment or find a model-specific guide in books and manuals.
