Am I getting Weak

[OhJ]

Just prepping both motor scooters for my pilgrimage to Andalusia, took off Sharrie's MULTISTRADER rear wheel to lune up the nut and cone mating surfaces just incase of tyre problems on route.
I had been warned they where tight so done use the Ducati alloy socket.
So I had daughter sitting on bike applying both brakes plus a third leg. I used a 55mm 3/4inch impact socket with a 36inch 3/4 power bar with 130kgs of down ward force to break the nut.


The torque setting is only 230Nm

Did not think Italians new the torque wrench went that high.

When you start struggling with nuts & bolts then we're all in trouble.

Yes, that sounds about right. Had the same thing with the lad's Multistrada when changing the rear tyre, you will also have found out that the exhaust tailpipe has to come off to get the bloody wheel out......WTF, Italians!

My thoughts exactly, perhaps it needs you and J on the bar, I'll hold the brake pedal down

I thought you must have been there ....J mentioned a third leg
