You will need the cover extractor tool about £10 off e bay that screws into the two 6 mm screws on the outside of the inspection plate on the alternator cover.
DO NOT FORGET the screw holding the alternator cover near the clutch push rod area if you do and use the extractor tool you will crack the alternator casing. Do not ask me how I know.
Ducati does not supply gaskets for the alternator cover any more preferring to rely on their expensive gasket goo. Use this sparingly as any surplus squeezed out on the inside of the alternator casing ends up in the sump and/or possibly oilways.
When tightening the power cable to the new starter motor make sure the post itself does not turn if it does you stand a good chance of destroying the internal wires to the brushes.
With the extractor tool and no recalcitrant fasteners about an hours job start to finish
