New member here. Juist bought a 1991 907 IE recently, and I an doing a complete restoration. I am a very experienced wrench, but this is my first Ducati. I am down to the point of disassemble where there is nothing left but motor and frame. The top rear motor mount bolt is giving me grief, and I fear I have screwed the pooch. It is a long 14mm bolt that goes through frame and motor. Both ends turn together AND independently. Yea, twilight zone. What gives with this bolt? Was it supposed to be reverse thread? Well, not anymore. This is the last nut and bolt to free the engine. Help, please. Free The Engine. ![]() |

It's a conventional thread, sounds like you might have to drill the bolt head out. I wonder if it was stripped in the factory, and has been like that for ever? |

Well, it turns out that the nut had rusted on the bolt and my efforts completely stripped the bolt threads. I had to punch the bolt thru the nut. It's done. The engine is now out of the frame. Hopefully, I will be able to find a Stainless Steei 14mm bolt that is 9-1/2 inches long (or whatever that is in cm or mm). The entire bike is now completely disassembled. It should take awile to inspect, clean, repair and/or replace the necessary parts before reassembly. I think it will be worth it. This is a great design and a classic looking Ducati. For those interested, I will be posting pictures of the reincarnation. ![]() |
