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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bleeding the front brake (Strada, ABS)

So, I've been stupid. After years without any incident, I've finally managed to go where so many others have gone before and tried driving off without removing the disc lock first.. :banghead:

Luckily, not that much was damaged (apart from my ego), but I do have to switch out the front brake caliper as the screws broke off. Not something I've done before and I'm not the most mechanical person ever, apart from the usual maintenance.

So, any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated! That being said:

Is there anything to keep in mind when bleeding the brakes, given that there is an ABS-pump in there somewhere? Or is it enough to open the nipple in the caliper and let the fluid run out?

Yes, stock-standard bleeding procedure of pump up and hold lever-> open and shut bleeder nipple quickly-> repeat ad nauseum until you have the right pressure and all air out of the system.
Not a quick job, though... 2-3 times as time-consuming as a non-ABS front bleed due to the long lines to and from the ABS unit.

Just did it last weekend after emptying the Master cyl to re-position the front brake line which was all crooked ex-factory.

Great, thanks glitch!
 
ABS brakes usually have a procedure involving the ECU and the can connector/device. I have a hexcode 911 and on the BMW ( which has a similiar ABS) you hold the lever in and run the bleed pump cycle. Hexcode have no upgraded the 911 to be able to see the Husky TR but I haven't tried the bleed procedure yet on it. The husky interface still has a few bugs though.
 
Don't you hate it when the most important letter in the sentence is missing.

Hexcode have noT upgraded the 911 to be able to see the Husky TR
Hexcode have noW upgraded the 911 to be able to see the Husky TR
