Description
Cylinder Head Nut Installation Tool
15mm no longer available
Head nut installation tool. Fits all Ducati head nuts with 14mm or 15mm nuts. Has holes for 1/2″ drive ratchet (for removal) and torque wrench (for installation). CHECK YOUR NUT SIZE.
NOTE1: You MUST put a wrench on your head nuts first in order to determine size. Don’t order a 14mm tool when you have 15mm nuts.
NOTE2: Before removing the nuts I add a good amount of liquid wrench/penetrating solvent a minimum of 2 times onto nut and engine stud surface. I then let it penetrate for 12 hours and use a standard wrench to remove the nuts. I use the closed elbow wrench to torque the nuts, adding grease to the studs, bolts and washers. Finally, I work my way up in 4 steps 10 Nm 20 Nm 30 Nm and last step 50 Nm in a cross pattern to torque the nuts.
NOTE3: The 15mm tool interferes with the engine casing on some models due to the proximity of the head bolts/nuts to the head. If that is the case, grinding off some of the outer ring of the tool may be necessary.
NOTE4: Desmo Times is not responsible for destroyed tools due to excessive force.
