first of all, you don't have to be factory-authorized to work on a
Triumph (hell, many Triumph dealer mechanics are not factory-authorized)

secondly, you gotta admit -- for the mechanic that doesn't have the
tool, the job probably IS easier

thirdly, it can probably be argued that once you have made your
measurements and know which shims need to be replaced, it might actually
be easier to remove the camshafts and change the shims all at once
rather than one at a time (depends probably on how many shims need
replacing)
