Rear wheel removal tool
Can anyone tell me where to get a rear wheel removal socket for my 1200.

Halfords do individual sockets, I got mine from them for the 1100s etc. From memory it's a 46mm, but I can check if you like?
I assume the 1200 is just a standard 6 sided hexagon nut? |

Yeah i got one for my evo from ebay molybdenum to use with impact gun. Double check size and sides…something in my mind is saying they are different on the 12’s

Ron is correct; the 1200 has a different sized nut from the 1100. I think it's 55mm.
Whatever the size, it will be very tight (the 1100's is 176Nm) so I wouldn't be tempted to buy the cheapest example. Like Ron, I'd go for a chrome molybdenum (Cr-Mo) socket, which gives you the option of using an impact wrench. You can also get combined 2-in-1 front/rear wheel nut sockets, which are handy. |

If your front wheel nut is 30mm, Dave, then this might do you: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-12...-/182810312511 It's specifically made for the slim wheel nuts so should avoid the possible slipping problem with standard sockets that Dukedesmo mentions. |

Large axles are used on the bigger engined bikes, I'm not certain exactly which bikes use them but they are easily identified without measuring/comparing as the sprocket carrier has 6 fixing bolts rather than 5 as on the small axle.

Buy cheap, buy twice!. As I found out trying to remove my MV wheel for the first time, it's done upto 220-240Nm. It broke the cheap one, just like that . Spent serious money on a decent one and it's been used and abused loads and still as good as new .

If the wheelnut is anything like the older SSSA bikes (916 etc.) then it is likely to be a very thin nut that requires a lot of torque.
My 916 is like this and a standard 46mm socket has a rounded/bevelled edge to guide it on to the nut easier, trouble is the bevel is about half the width of the nut and so you get very little purchase onto the nut, meaning the socket easily slips and rounds off the edges of the nut. I bought a standard 46mm socket and had this problem, so I got the end of the socket turned down so that it has a square edge and this is far better. I don't know if you can find a 'square' edged socket, if so it's likely a Ducati specific tool with a Ducati specific price? ...

Those ultra-high torques always give me the willies.
I haven't had a close look (or any look at all tbh) at the nut in question, but ... if the spindle is suitably hollow .... I'm wondering if its possible to get a socket which has a central guide spigot to locate in the hollow bore and prevent the socket from twisting off the hex ....? Just a thought, but if you're buying one anyway it might be worth a trawl around. |

Chris at desmoworld.de sells that type of socket Jeff, I've had mine for years without any problem.

Forget using a breaker bar, get an impact gun

Really appreciate all this info I was going to give it a go with a breaker bar but after reading the above I will be on the look out for an impactor.

Be careful to take note of the maximum torque rating for some of the cheaper cordless impact drivers, they are often well below what you will need!
