Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Refitting the rear wheel eccentric hub and rear wheel shaft

Refitting is the reverse of removal, with attention to the following points.

If the calliper bracket locating pin (14) was removed, apply the recommended threadlocker on reassembly.

Tighten the pin (14) to the torque of 33 nm +/- 5% (sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).

If previously removed, refit the cable grommet (25) as shown in the figure and tighten the screw (26) to a torque of 1 nm +/- 10% (sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).

Before refitting apply some recommended grease to the eccentric hub (22) external surface.

Insert the hub (22) fully home on the swingarm (8).

Note

During this operation force the hub seat open on the swingarm enough to fit the hub (22).

Check that the eccentric hub (22) with respect the swing arm (8) features the horizontal axis (d) of the hub bore (b) under the horizontal axis (c) of the hub seat.

Apply grease on rings (17) and place them in their seat of the plate (18). Fit the washer (16) on the eccentric hub (22).

Place the plate (18) on the swingarm: the pin (14) must match with the blind slot (t) on the plate (18).

Refit the other washer (16) on the eccentric hub (22).

Block the plate (18) after installing circlip (19) in its groove (g) on hub (22), and setting it with its square edge outward.

Note

After this operation visually check that the circlip is perfectly inserted in the groove (g).

Apply an even coating of the recommended grease in the areas (a) of the axle (31).

Insert the rear wheel shaft (31) in the hub (22).

Ensure the stub axle (31) is seated in the hub.

Fit the inner ring (21) on the wheel shaft (31).

Insert the inner ring (21) in the hub.

Apply the recommended grease to the screws (a) and tighten to the torque of 35 nm+/-5%(sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) following the sequence 1-2-1.

Set the chain tension as described in sect. 4 - 3, "Adjusting the chain tension".
