Cam Pulley Nut Tool – Holding and Socket Assembly for Ducati 2V and 4V Belt Drives

Brief Overview

This is a specialized cam pulley nut removal and installation tool designed specifically for Ducati Pantah 2-valve belt-drive engines and 4-valve 916 belt-drive models. The tool consists of a holding cup with three locating pins that prevents the camshaft pulley from rotating, paired with a removable slotted socket for loosening and tightening the pulley retaining nut. The 1/2-inch square drive enables use with standard ratchets and breaker bars, making it an essential addition to your timing service kit alongside crankshaft pulley removal tools and timing control holding devices for other platforms.

Key Features

• Dual-Function Design: Holding cup with three engagement pins prevents pulley rotation; separate slotted socket engages the retaining nut
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• Ergonomic Red Grip Handle: Cushioned handle reduces fatigue during extended service work
• Precision Pin Alignment: Three locating pins ensure secure pulley positioning without slipping
• Knurled Socket Grip: Removable socket features external knurling for positive hand control when threading on/off
• Ducati-Specific Fitment: Verified fit for Pantah 2-valve and 916 4-valve belt-drive timing pulleys
• Compact, Hangable Design: End hole accommodates wall storage or toolbox organization

Technical Application

This tool addresses a critical need in Ducati timing belt service: the camshaft pulley retaining nut cannot be removed without preventing pulley rotation. The holding cup locks onto the pulley's slotted surface using three pins, while the socket simultaneously engages the nut for removal or installation. This dual-action design eliminates the need for improvised methods (hammers, vise-grips, or secondary holding fixtures) and reduces the risk of stripped nuts or damaged pulleys.
