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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Front Axle - TE310

Just wondering what you folks use to pull the front axle out while doing a trailside wheel removal?

I bought my 2010 model and was told Husky wasn't including tools with the bikes. I have the Motosportz axle nut and wrench, but I have a small drift in my fanny pack to push the axle out.

Anybody sell something better? Any tips?
 
If the axle is lubed I spin the nut out to the last few threads, then push in and it will start to move the axle. From there I just put my finger in the axle and pull while getting pressure off the wheel. I guess you could either weld a handle on the axle or get a axle from another model with the pull handle.
 
when you reinstall it make sure it slides in fairly easy- make sure your fork tubes are aligned correctly whereas they have the same height- this makes a big difference and saves wear on your fork seals and bushings. George has some instructions for this somewhere but if you understand the above you get the gist- Really you should not need a drift or a BFH. If you do your fork tubes are not aligned or you need to grease and reassemble more often. It should just take some finesse like raisrx251 mentioned.
