1200 Multistrada 1200 Rear Wheel Nut Removal

You sure the rattle gun is working properly? When I have done mine in the past it is can take several seconds, like maybe 20 seconds in a number of short bursts, to loosen off.

 

I think I’ve got a problem with the Clarke CEW1000 impact driver as I got it off with the 600mm bar and when I came to put it back on with the Clarke then test how tight with the 600mm bar it needed a whole turn with the bar to get it reasonably tight :-(

 

If you are making the same error I did lol, you are turning the nut the wrong way to loosen it Once I selected the correct part of the (bloody stupid) trigger, it flew straight off.

 

No I’ve checked that. Maybe it’s the short sharp bursts I was missing. Will try it again tomorrow when it (hopefully) stops raining

 

I used a torque wrench to tighten the nut back up. I would guess you could over torque the nut with a rattle gun. Maybe others here have a better understanding of this though?

 

Good point does anyone know the torque setting for the rear wheel nut on a 1260? Assume it’s the same as the 1200...

 

230Nm, yes same as the 2015 DVT.

Never use a rattle gun to tighten, torque wrench every time.

 

Thanks

 

Important
Grease the wheel shaft threaded end prior to re-installing the wheel.
This will prevent the nut from seizing. (This info is in the shop manual).
Impact (breaker bar) to loosen and torque wrench to tighten.

P.s. Bumpkin previously mentioned it but it's worth highlighting.

 

its so easy

 

Why have you started a new thread? Let's keep it all here.
Too many similar threads dilute the value of information.
No disrespect but just an observation.

FYI, All 55mm have the same torque settings, forged or cast.
To service your bike, even if it's just wheels you need both a small and a large torque wench.
230 nm for the rear axle nut ,
63 nm for the front axle nut,
45nm for the brake calliper bolts,
10 Nm for the Sach front pinch bolts (19Nm±5% Ohlins),

All these torque settings are in the sticky. (slight deviations for Ohlins)

 

Fork pinch bolts are 18Nm on 1098/749.

 

Remind me not to take anything to that Ducati 'technician' - he used a torque wrench to undo that! No no no no no...

 

Funny you should say that, because I thought the same thing.

 

There are torque spanners where it is possible to loosen screws.
Excerpt from "Stahlwille" operating instructions:
Uncontrolled loosening of
screw connections ...
... against the functional direction is possible. The
The release mechanism is not stressed.
ATTENTION!
Exceeding the
torque limit there is a
danger that the
the torque spanner is damaged.
Make sure that a
limit torque of about 125 % of the
of the maximum scale value is not exceeded.
Do not loosen rusted screws with the
screws with the
torque spanner.

 

That's a ratchet breaker bar. Simple observation shows that it's not the same as the torque wrench he's using .
