• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 having read a bunch of PDF manuals I still am a little confused.

What is the right way to remove and re-install my axle? What is left and right pinch bolts as stated in the manuals? Sitting on the bike or standing in front looking at the bike?

I know.......I am an idiot but I grow on you......maybe.

Only stupid question is the one "Why didn't I just ask"? Left/right is always sitting on-in the seat whether it be a bike or auto. Leave pinch bolts tight on side that has the nut on it- or you really dont have to but then you have to recenter the wheel upon ressembly. Tube probably wont move anyway on its own. loosen pinch bolts on side opposite of nut. Take brake stay off and rotate brake to remove brake cable. Put phillips screwdriver in axle hole and slide it out. I always put a little antisieze on axle upon reassembly. hope this helps and its really late for me so I hope I steered you correctly. Always recheck fasteners after a short ride. Scott
 
Thanks Scott. Now I'll know for tomorrow when I take it all apart for a good cleaning and inspection.

And a big thank you to all the others that make this site happen. You are all Saints in my books.....
