Hah ! Ducati make a drift.

That rather suggests they know the things seize but dont bother making with the grease anyway.
Anyway I faked up a puller type thing as you suggested & have managed to move things maybe 4mm or so. Have left the tension on overnight & will hit it again tomorrow.
Am slightly concerned as bike went down on RHS at Knockhill & I worry things may be a little twisted in the frame department. We'll see.
