[Ducati] Removing Crankshaft

[Barry]

Hey guys, I am removing the bolts that hold the left and right crank case
halves together. Question, is there more than 7 bolts. The 2 manuals I have
aren't very specific, they say remove the bolts that hold the crank case
halves together and then they talk about the size of the bolts,but no
mention about the location of these bolts other than the obvious ones.
