Exhaust flange tool. There are plenty of these available from Ducati bevel twin parts sources on the web. All fit better than the original factory tool. A replacement flange nut costs almost the same. No need to be king kong tight either, head threads are expensive to repair. |
Removing the plug below the left front engine mount requires a 30mm socket ( preferably a thin wall flank drive ), or a special tool if the engine and header pipes are in place. The tool I fabricated works with the dipstick in place ( I can be lazy sometimes ). The necessity for the removal of the plug in situ is uncommon, an oil weep at the washer being the usual culprit. |
Bevel extractor tool is a necessity, there is no acceptable alternate method for removing the lower bevel bearing holders from the crankcase. See this image - 1.Starting thread damaged, therefore extractor will not work. 2. Outer sleeve crushed preventing alignment and position of new bearing. A hard to find part totaled ! | Holds the original alternator rotor whilst performing a number of assembly and disassembly operations, including the right side crank nut. Made of alloy with crap engraving by owner. Available from a number of web shops. |
Clutch cover removal tool. Yes, the Haynes manual says you can remove the cover with a claw hammer wedged inside the clutch inspection plate - choice. Did they think about how it might affect the bearing which acts as an outrigger for the crankshaft ? There should also be a small button ( or an 8mm bolt in a pinch ) placed on the end of the tool to prevent damage to the end of the crank when turning. | Having fitted a rare earth magnet to the oil gallery plug on the right crankcase to catch the furry bits, once a year it requires removal. Its use allows access to the plug without removing the RH engine pipe. Yes, it was a 21mm thin wall flank drive socket. Once loosened the plug can be removed for inspection of the oil gallery and the VeeTwo or RYE oring oil sieve modification. ( highly recommended ) |
Distributor shaft SKF nut tool. The factory tool is a tad soft, the genuine SKF tool ( way expensive ) is the best. The tool pictured is a hardened steel, precisely machined. There's no way out of this one when you need to remove the distributor shaft to replace a bearing. The SKF nut needs to be quite tight to act as preload for the the centre bevel trigear and distributor crank gear mesh. | These are a couple of specials. To the left is for the insertion of the crank main bearings, to the right for the insertion of the main bearing sleeves. Made as a precaution to ensure precise fit of the components. Not much time to work when you have warm crankcases and/or cold sleeves. I recommend VeeTwo sleeves as they come in different sizes or custom sized when ordering to ensure the correct fit. |
Clutch tool holder, made from a couple of old plates carefully aligned then welded together. Some folk like a separate for the inner and outer drum. This one works for me. The handle will wedge neatly onto a bolt inserted in the upper engine mount bolt hole when you run out of hands. | Counterhsaft sprocket holder. Hose on end for preventing removal of paint on swinging arm when wedged for either removal or replacement of the SKF nut ( they're tight, very tight ! ). This is for a 16 tooth sprocket. Can be purchased on the web. |
Used with 1/2" drive breaker bar to remove the SKF countershaft sprocket nut. A friend made this, past my skill level. | This is the factory issued tool kit for the750 GT. Should be zinc plated ( it used to be ) and the screwdriver handle painted blue. Unsure about the 12 x 14 OE, it's marked Ducati. They came in a blue bag.There could be a piece or two missing. Best left on a shelf somewhere. |
Cheap 13mm cut to tighten the lock nut on the clutch cable. Hard to access otherwise, image close to acutal size. | Cylinder head nut tool, 16 x 17 mm for either size. 3/8" drive for torque wrench. Use a torque wrench table to calculate settings. |
Timing disc holder. A very handy timing disc, specifically for Ducati twins can be downloaded here. | Primary gear puller. There is a different factory tool for each variant in the primary gear size. The outer ring slides to provide a secure grip. |
This blind bearing puller is used for the mainshaft brg. Warm the area around the bearing in the case before attempting removal. |
This cam holder tool is required for holding the camshafts when removing the left hand threaded camshaft nut securing the bevel gear. Always use a new locking tab. |
Factory supplied clutch holding tool, a good thing, usually better than the home mades ! The welded tabs secure the tool. |
Factory countershaft sprocket nut removal tool. |
The rocker pin extractor is essential for careful removal of the rocker pins when adjusting shims. You can make this at home. |
The valve spring compressor is bulky. A smaller tool can be made to use in a drill press, but this one is factory supplied and works well. |
