Hi,

Was in the process of changing my clutch & pressure plate over this afternoon to find out my clutch plates are knackered...

Any ideas of what makes I should be looking @ & where I should be looking

Also I'm after a Clutch Hub Assembly.. had a little accident removing a spring?

Any ideas on where I could get a replacement or where I could get it mended if poss

If no one comes along with the part for you then Jim Redmond is always worth a call 01708 455530. You will also need to get your hands on a clutch holding tool and a big f**k off breaker bar and torque wrench as that centre nut is 190nm!

Cheers, What's the clutch tool used for... can a clutch change be done without one??

As just looked @ a price for one?

[jangol]

Just answered my own question.. I think?? only used if I changing the clutch hub right??

Won't need it if I just change the plate only right??

[chrisw]

Yes just the hub, as in

[jangol]

Cool Thanks...

Hope someone has a bargain on here.. as going to cost a fair whack for a hub & plates...

There are cheaper alternatives!

Just google for "ducati clutch tool" and you'll find the version that bolts onto the case and allows you to hold both the centre and the clutch basket to allow easy removal of both.

JA
