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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How To Remove Front Wheel Bearing On My Cr500-83?

AA Class
Hi

How do I remove the piece with two small holes that is located outside the bearing?
Is it threaded? Left/right?

Anyone who knows?

Best regards
Tobias

Get a nice round punch, drift pin anything that is long enough to fit in axle hole. Their is space in center all husky wheels held in place by foam. Just push against this center spacer at angle to move it to the side. Now the bearing should be exposed on other side. Keep pressure on center spacer and hit the pin resting on bearing with hammer till bearing comes out. Some come out easy other take a few wacks
 
It will come out by removing the bearing. I think it once had pins in the little holes that tuned the odometer drive. Or maybe the Cr model got what is pictured.

The bearing needs hit with a punch that has a square end. It needs hit back and forth, side to side, at least the ones I have done. It is kind of like knocking the race out of the steering tube, not too much to actually get a punch on. At least until the bearing moves enough that the center pipe like spacer can be pushed farther out of the way. Your results may vary.
 
Application of heat and dropping the wheel on to some solid timber raised of the ground can be enough sometimes.
 
Ok.
Thank you guys! I have tried with a punch from the opposite side, but it was very stubborn... So I thought maybe it was threaded... Maybe I just need to convince it properly!
 
Maybe the bearing on the other side will come out easier. Then that one should accept a larger punch or drift.
