i know ducati has a holding tool for tightening the flywheel nut for a stock flywheel. what about one that's machined down and doesn't have the 2 holding holes for the factory tool. i have an idea on making a tool, but thought i would ask first. wedging a penny between the gears doesn't sound like a good method to me.

i have a factory tool that goes over the 8 screw heads that holds the inner ring in. it's always worked nicely.
Perhaps one of these?

Id like to see a picture of that. I thought about using my old rotor and welding a long handle on it.
Didn't think about the chain wrench idea. I'll have to see if my chain is long enough.
I did not have a factory tool, so I mde my own:

Not the most elegant, but it woks great.
The big holes go over the heads of the Allen screws, the 2 smaller use the allen head screws to hold the tool securely in place.
I also have a long, detachable handle that will block on the footpeg. Not that it brings me many favours, but the tool has had some popularity locally ;)
put the tranny in 6th and find the biggest chunk of wood. I used 3 shovel handles wrapped in towels.

If all 3 had blades on them, I hope you took a pic.

Made use of an extra rotor laying around. Worked like a dream with minimal effort. Thanks for the ideas
That should do it.
Put a steel rod through the eye of a conrod and lower it onto some wood then tighten up the fly wheel nut
Just a reminder:
flywheel nut 270N/m with Loctite 128455, this as per Ducati Official repair manual[due to not having available said Loctite, I used green Loctite]
I used the double jam nuts so it's only 140ft lbs. lathered some red loctite on there.
I don't like the idea of putting stress on other engine components to tighten a higher torque fastener.

Loctite 128455 is also known as Loctite 648.

Needs to be 270Nm . . .170Nm+red loctite came off many times. now, 140Nm+red loctite+2 jam nuts . . .

I spoke with Nichols to verify and they said the same thing as the corse dynamics page. Nichols said ducati kept putting a higher torque spec on the factory nut without addressing the real problem. The junky garbage nut that's know for loosing up.
