Narrative:
The amm (aircraft maintenance manual) calls are very specific tooling required to do this job it does not give us any way to deviate from the tooling required. A tooling part number was given. There are none in ZZZ. Referencing this MM; what other tooling can I use that is acceptable with this amm. Others suggest that I make my own tooling.please do not ask technicians to make up tooling just to accommodate the task. Use the correct tooling as listed in the amm.
