Guys, I need some help. I’ve just given the bike a wash, wheeled it into the garage and tried removing the Evotech rear spindle bobbin, but they’ve changed the design, so you can only use one socket rather than two, to remove it, as the right hand coloured side is toothed. The left side is really tight, and the right side just spins when you try undoing it anti clockwise. It’s definitely anti clockwise to remove, as it went on clockwise. There’s no way you can get a tool in the right hand side, so I’m stumped. Anyone got any ideas? https://evotech-performance.com/col...spindle-bobbins-ducati-multistrada-v4-rs-2025
Don’t buy tarty shit If you have a small flat bladed screw driver (or probably 2) by inserting the blade(s) into the gap between the nut and the body of the bobbin, you might be able to jam the right hand nut sufficiently to undo it. Good luck, Andy
The nut on the red side is captive. I’m guessing you’ve stripped the thread on the nut on the other side.
Ask me how I know… If you have, I can’t think of how to remove it without cutting off the black slider, gripping the spindle and twisting the captive side off. Either that or leave it until you need a new tyre!
You may have to hammer some steel shims in between the red part and nut to give the nut something harder to be captive against as opposed to the aluminium of the red part.
Okay, I seem to got the wrong end of the stick, it’s not the nut but the whole bung that’s turning ? I have a spanner for my disc cutter that looks like a C spanner but has 2 pegs that locate in holes in the circular nut that clamps the disc. If you could bodge, sorry, cobble together something similar, that might help you hold the bung. Andy
Ok, cheers Chris, that could be another option. Either way, the red part is going to be knackered after this!
Yep, I’m trying to undo the black side, and the red side is just turning. The only other thought was to just drill it out from the red side??
Something along theses lines, https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai...bms1MaMAxVgQEEAHYz-GnEQ5bgDKAB6BAgFEBc&adurl= ? Andy
In 2 of the 8 holes around the periphery of the bung if you could find a ‘spanner’ or cobble together a spanner to hold the bung from rotating. Andy
