Ive heard that the 55mm rear socket isnt really machiend to 55mm so im wondering if this tool will fit

anyone ever tried?
55 mm is 2.16 in. 2 3/16 is 2.18 in. I would think that would be close enough.
Don't know if I would want $12.00 quality though.
i have several of their sockets, they work great.
i spoke to someone else, they said that no 55mm works you have to get the ducati specific one. or atleast one made specifically for the 1098/.

It does require a special socket, speedymoto makes a great one, although cheaper do exist.
The 1098 rear axle takes 237* lb/ft to torque correctly. I would want perfect fit if I was doing that, or risk that big ass nut getting its corners rounded off
I never use 12 pt sockets for the bikes. They tend to round things.
The 1098 socket is a 12pt nut. a 6pt wont work.
Interesting...
