• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

So I'm disassembling the engine to install new bearings and seals and I can't seem to get the drive gear to pop loose. I have a puller on it that is cranked pretty tight (don't what to go to crazy), I tap on the puller and gear itself with a brass hammer but no luck, still tight.
Would putting heat on the gear be ok?? Anybody know of any tricks to get this thing off?

Thank you, John
 
Yes put some heat on the gear with the puller tight. It should pop off. Do not stand in front of the gear while doing this as when it comes off it will with some velocity. Or to keep the gear from flying off put the shaft nut on just loose to not let the gear fall off the shaft.

Glad to say, that's all it took. It didn't take much heat at all and it popped right off.

Thanks again
