S4 Head Bearings

18-12-2004, 10:10 AM

Has anyone had to tighten their head bearings on a S4, it looks as though you need a special tool to do the job.
Is it worth buying the tool, or is it better to get a dealer to do it?
I noticed the handling getting a little twitchy and on checking the front end noticed some definite play in the head bearings

.
Has anyone had this done by a dealer, and if so how much can I expect to pay.
I intend using Ducati John for my main servicing although itâ€™s a little far to go for what must only be a 15 min job.

Cheers
