Hi guys I am in the final stages of rebuilding my panigale 1299 engine after giving it a look over and refresh. I have purchased this tool to fit the piston pin circlips as it makes the process a bit more elegant than trying to fiddle with them and a screwdriver. It also allows to remove the liners without splitting the case halves. However I have found that the pilot shaft is too wide to fit in the gudgeon pin of the 1299 panigale. I have seen this tool used to assemble an 1199 piston before and it appears that the hole that runs through the gudgeon pin is larger On that motor than the 1299. The part number for the tool is that which I found on the parts catalog and the manual and it’s printed on the tool So I can’t understand why the diameter of the pilot shaft is wrong unless there’s an error there. does anyone know if there are separate pilot shafts for sale from Ducati that are specific for the 1299 and this tool?
cheers!
