Ducati DesertX Wheel Service Tool Kit;

This Ducati DesertX Tool Kit for front and rear wheels is specifically designed for the DesertX. The kit is delived in two small 17cm x 9cm canvas pouches. The Eastbound Ducati DesertX Wheel Service Kit provides all tools required to remove and reinstall both wheels in a handy and compact kit.

DesertX rear wheel removal;

Ducati has made the rear wheel axle and nut design again typical Ducati with a massive 36mm 12-point nut requiring special tools. This kit includes a special Eastbound low profile 36mm x 1/2 inch 12-point Aluminium 7075 T6 socket for that purpose. The socket is driven by the 1/2 inch breaker bar adapter and the Tyre-Pro modular handle sets. Total length of the assembled breaker bar is 35cm which is a must because of the whopping 180Nm tightening torque of the rear axle nut. The 36mm socket has an ultra-low profile of only 25mm due to its recessed 1/2 inch drive square. It is smaller and easier to pack than any other 36mm socket.

DesertX front wheel removal;

To remove the front wheel of the Ducati DesertX, you need a 30mm socket to loosen the front axle nut as well as a 6 mm and 8 mm Alan key to loosen the axle pinch bolts and brake calliper bolts respectively. You have to remove at least one of the brake callipers to allow the wheel to pass between the fork legs. All these tool elements are included in this special kit.
