Saw a handy tip on .ms earlier, thought I'd share it - is one of those blindingly obvious "Oh yeah!" solutions... :biggrin: Remove all the alt cover bolts including the one under the slave, gear lever off etc... Bolt the slave back on. Pull the clutch in a few times, the clutch plate spring pressure will *poik* the cover off!
In all my years of owning Ducatis I've never had to use a puller to remove the L/H cover! Still, if I did then that's a great tip!
Maybe too off-centre to work properly? But a crankcase puller is only a piece of drilled plate and a bolt so hardly a great expense, especially if you can make one.
Havnt tried it as such so I couldnt say? The first time my case came off I needed a puller, the second time it came straight off lol
Be careful, I was a bit heavy handed when I tried that (although I now cant remember whether I had left a bolt in) however I squeezed the clutch lever so hard, I snapped the clutch pushrod as the cover was so stubborn (or it could have been the bolt still holding the cover on )
