I used a 7/16” deep socket to knock the intake closer shims apart from the keepers on mine
Tapped it softly a few times
Ducati sells a clutch centering tool too ya know?
That's cool, I'm glad that worked for you. Did you already have the head off?
I tried that method before ordering the $600 tool, but the two on the vertical head were extremely tight even using the special tool and I wasn't about to keep tapping my valves into the top of my piston. For some reason the horizontal head intake closers weren't pressed on as tight, and I probably could have tapped them off, but by that time I already had the tool anyways.
