This may be of use to other variants... Since owning the Ducati, it’s always been a 2 person job to remove the rear wheel. The nut is tightened to 230Nm and it requires the wife to sit on the bike, apply front and rear brakes whilst I use a 55mm socket with 3/4 drive breaker bar and a piece of scaffolding pole for extra leverage. Doing the nut up is ok, 230Nm isn’t that much, but it requires around 375Nm to loosen... Enter my new toy. A Dewalt DCF894 impact gun, it’s a beast of a gun rated at 447Nm but breakaway torque for undoing stuff is rated at a massive 813Nm. I have this tools smaller version which is great for car lug nuts and the like, but wasn’t up to the Ducati wheel nut. I charged the battery, fitted the socket and it spins the rear nut off in seconds. So easy.
