How do you remove shims and put new ones ? Do you have the Triumph tool ?

I have to do the job on the Daytona and search another solution that

stick to block shim guides in place. But if a better idea comes to me ;)
Greetings Pascal,
First off our engines are the T500 series and Triumph made a major
update to the T500 engine series (Sprint,Daytona,Tiger,& Speed Triple) at engine
#139277. Now, up to and including #139276 you need to use the Triumph tool
T3880012 to be able to remove the shims which sit in a recess on top of the
spring bucket, and the cams are left it place. Now, from # 139277 and on, the
shims are under the spring bucket and the cams must be removed to change them.
I believe that there is a set of directions in the list archive on how to
make the T3880012 tool and any good machine shop can do it, also I've seen
them being sold on e-bay (U.K.) in the $80 range.
These earlier series uses the 25mm diameter shims same as the "trophy's"
use and fairly common in the automotive industry (many cars use them), and can
also be purchased in thickness packets from some automotive machine shop
supply firms.
I hope this clears up the "do I remove my cams to adjust my valves?"
question.
