Newer cars don't need dwell meters or timing lights since a "tune-up" requires much less work than it used to be but they were specialized tools needed for routine simple jobs in the past.
Evey piece of machinery requires its own specific tools and bike are no exception. Big hammers and hacksaws will indeed do the job if you don't care what the remains look like.
