Primary Gear Removal

Discussion in 'Supersport (1974-2007)' started by Desmoquattro, Nov 13, 2018.

  1. Any tips for removing this? I have a 2 legged puller on it, the nuts on the thread to stop it flying across room, ive tried heat too and hittong the puller, it will not budge.
    I can take it to Ducati Glasgow, even considered making my own puller but is there another way?
     
  2. That's how I do mine on a 996, takes a fair amount of heat from an electric heat gun. Try not to get to carried away with hitting the puller as the shock could damage the mains.

  4. I try to make the special tools if I can - the primary gear special tool is one I'm glad I went for in the end. Not cheap but once two or three engines done worth it.

  5. I may have to invest, as I'm sure this won't be the last engine I do.
     
  6. Although I took it to a helpful chap yesterday who had the tool and did it for me!
