Shandy do you think its stuck in bearings or swingarm. Do I heat up swingarm. Heating up shaft will make it tighter wont it.

reet then
what you need to do is remove this bit from the swig arm
removing the bolt isn't enough and taking out the pinch type bit really helped on mine i snapped exhaust studs on my front an all if there's enough of the stud still sticking out my favourite method of removal is to hammer on a tight fitting socket told ya gratuitous hammer use required uh use more release oil on the pinch cotter things and see if you can remove anoy more corrosion off the exhaust stud before 'hammer time' |

So you think I should remove cotter pin type clamps. I still wonder whether the bearings are holding. I will try again tomorrow. Much thanks

Ah yes you did but I didnt realise they were inside there. I got the bolt out and thought it would look different. Thought it was too easy. Wil try again tomorrow nite. Usual manual doesnt show detail. Exhaust shouldnt be too much of a problem. At least its at the front and not rear one with poor acccess.
Managed to get a wheel. http://www.ducati.com/doc/catalogue/S4_Eu-02.pdf As per usual no real details on what parts look like. Helps a bit though. How did you extract them scotty

with a hammer
put the bolt back in but don't nip it up leave a few mm slack so that when you hit the top of the bolt with a hammer it should knock the threaded cotter pin out, gradually unwind the bolt to knock it further through (think I used a longer bolt for this bit) then the other side is more difficult (in my experience as there's no thread to it) I used same bolt and hammer to gradually drift the other pin out from the other side |

Albie, swingarm spindle is a PITA to get out, but a doddle compared to getting it back in again... that really is fun Try doing it with an extra 50kg of trike subframe welded on for a laugh
I had to replace both front exhaust studs on trike. Both nuts were rusted solid and chewed up, but managed to wind studs out with mole grips. Rear cylinder was ok but clamp bolt on downpipe was seized, and had to be attacked with dremel.

The joy then comes when you try to get the shims back between the swining arm and the engine as you cant see anything and you cant get your hand up there - I know as of late I've done a few of them

Ahh yes... the shims
Alan,
You've spoilt the surprise - I was going to let Albie find out about the shims the hard way...fantastic fun to be had in a freezing cold, dark garage
