Title: Clutch tool"Wet vs. Dry" Post by: DTR on November 11, 2010, 07:02:36 PM I replaced several of my dry clutches using different tools. I've used LT Snyder's tool and one of the bolt-to-the-engine-case tools manufactured specifically for the Ducati dry clutch. Has anyone ever replaced the wet clutch using specialty tools? How different are the tools required for wet clutch replacement? I stopped by the Ducati dealer today and he looked up the clutch holding tool and said it was $400 plus. Can't is use the same tool to hold the clutch/basket wet or dry?

One that bolts to the case, will only work for a dry clutch, as the case will be removed to access the wet clutch.

It was more of a general question. 848, 1098, Multistrada, Monster? do they all use a different style wet-clutch that would require a different tool to hold?

I have the Ducati tool. It's real purdy. BK Title: Re: Clutch tool"Wet vs. Dry" Post by: booger on November 13, 2010, 09:42:27 AM How much did you pay for the Ducati tool BK? Are there any other Adler Power Torque Clutch holding tools available?

Are there any other Adler Power Torque Clutch holding tools available? The Ducati wet clutch tool 887132556 set me back $243 from the dealer. I also bought the three APTC special thumb screws 887132591 to make things easier. I'm not aware of alternatives to the big holder, but I'm sure plenty of folks make do without!

APTC are indeed smaller diameter. Title: Re: Clutch tool"Wet vs. Dry" Post by: Raux on November 15, 2010, 11:58:55 AM so would a non-aptc wet clutch fit on a aptc equiped bike?

Sure - some folks who don't like the APTC setup, or want a cheaper replacement, go this route. As I understand it you need the matched clutch assembly and primary gear, but it's all bolt in. No FHE on my end. BK |
