Panigale 1199 rear wheel nut removal
my method:
solo
I use a rear axle stand because it provides sufficient stability.
Harbor Freight 1/2" cordless impact wrench, often available for $99.99, I have an air impact wrench too, but this one is very convenient. (this is the 18v model, they have a new higher powered 20v, but it is $100 more)
Bike in neutral, don't need to apply brake, 10-15 seconds with impact wrench and nut comes off.
Clean all threads very well and grease when replacing, I use anti-seize directly under the nut and a little on the threads. My second choice would be marine wheel bearing grease because it fends off corrosion better in my experience.
STEEL 55mm shallow socket like the SpeedyMoto (with 30mm socket too). These have a pilot which helps you keep the socket well lined up.
Harbor Freight 3/4" torque wrench with 3/4"-1/2" adapter, $80 or less if you use their coupons.
hold the rear brake down with right hand, pull on the wrench with left, it is long enough without cheater tube.
160 #/ft.
For those with hard to get off nuts, Harbor Freight heat gun it first.
If that doesn't work, take your socket and 1"-1/2" or 3/4"-1/2" socket adapter and ride to your nearest tire shop and ask them to loosen it a little, ride back home and proceed. If you are worried about the wheel falling off, throw your 1/2" torque wrench in you backpack too and tighten to 100#/ft before you go home.
An impact wrench avoids the sweating, tipping you bike over....associated with a long wrench. Also lets you keep the socket fully lined up with the nut so you will distort the nut less. If you are worried about scratches on the nut, get another on E-bay, and polish it on a wire wheel after each use. Tape won't help you keep from rounding the edges of the nut if you can't keep the socket square with the nut.
