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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Has anyone tried fitting a new chain slider on their Husky 2015 yet? I got the top and bottom blue items free, which is why I'm changing them already but have been struggling to get the bolt out far enough on the bottom piece. It won't undo enough without hitting the other nut shown in the picture with my pen as a pointer. Thanks for any suggestions, Rich.image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
 
Don't want to sound silly but then its obvious you need to create clearance to facilitate maintenance by "undoing" that other bolt/nut assy.

Yeah, I know what you're saying. I was hoping there was another trick, as the other bolt is for the shock linkage and it seems daft to have to remove that as they are really firmly held with Loctite and torqued down. They usually need quite a bit of heat to break the Loctite bond.
 
I'm pretty sure I changed mine. I put an enduro engineering case save on and it comes with a new top slider. I was able to get mine out, just had to jiggle it a bit

Thanks - I had to give it quite a bit of persuasion but eventually sorted!
