[Ducati] 1999 ST4 Clutch Replacement Help

[mike major]

Cheap way to hold the drum, put the bike in 6th and hold the rear brake lever.   Moonbeam

Thank-you. I just needed the confidence to apply more force. The rod came 
out of the bearing! I will replace parts as necessary. However the drum 
and housing both have wear marks from the plate tangs. I can't see being 
able to hold the drum without the special tool to remove the nut so I think 
I should take it to my shop for complete inspection and replacement.

Do the cush rubbers typically need to be replaced at this point?

I put 40,000+ miles on it so a complete rebuild is probably the right Thing.

Thanks again.

John Fleming
