• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Hi All,

Does anyone know how you take the bottom yokes off the stem on my 1983 WR430???. I've taken the circlip and washer off the bottom but it just wont have it?? I've tried unscrewing, hammering and with heat but it just wont budge.

I'm sure someone must have a tip or secret:)......... Thanks
 
they are pressed together, and will come apart easily if a press if used. anything else will likely bitch things up
 
I have painted them with the stem in and have not had to remove it to replace the bottom bearing. Some careful cutting with an exhaust cutoff wheel and a short burst with an air chisel took the rusted bearing of in less time than the prep work and walking over to the press to press the stem out.
