Troubleshooting
Pins do not thread into cam pulleys
Verify that your engine is a compatible Ducati 2-valve model with split cam pulleys. Ensure you are using the correct M5 x 0.8mm thread size. If the thread appears damaged on the pulley, do not force the pin; consult a professional mechanic.
Pins feel loose or do not hold camshafts securely
Confirm that the pins are fully threaded into the designated holes. Ensure the engine's timing marks are correctly aligned before inserting the pins. If the issue persists, the cam pulley or pin may be damaged. Inspect for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Difficulty removing pins after service
Gently twist and pull the pins to remove them. Avoid excessive force. If they are stuck, ensure no debris is preventing their removal. A small amount of penetrating oil might help, but clean the area thoroughly afterward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This tool is specifically designed for Ducati 2-valve 620cc, 695, 750, 800, and 900 V-twin engines equipped with split cam pulleys. It is equivalent to OEM 88713.2009 and features an M5 x 0.8mm thread. Always verify your engine's specifications and pulley type before use.
