kenm Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi All, I'm almost done with the Ohlins fork upgrade. I have the tire mounted on the axle and find that the Ducati 999 nut is larger than any socket or wrench that I have. I need to visit Sears for a new socket. It looks like it's a 28 mm but I'd like to confirm that before buying a socket. Can anybody tell me what size it is? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, -ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenm Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 I remembered that I just recently bought a cheapo Sears caliper. I just measured the spindle nut and it is 28 mm. I must need more tequila! -ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Recently I did the same work. Switch from Marzocchi to Ohlins. The 999 axle was 25 an not 28. I am very surprised about what you wrote. Do you also have the inner distance tube between the sealed bearing? Very important detail!!!

Paul Minnaert Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 antonio, read what he writes, he is talking about the wrench size, not axle diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
