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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

stuck swing arm bushings

Hey guys, once again I'm in need of some help.
The bushings in the rear swing arm are stuck in the arm. I tried hammering, a c clamp, and heat with no movement.
Got them soaking in pb blaster hoping it will get them moving.
I haven't got to crazy on trying to get them out, afraid I'll hurt something.
Is there a trick to getting then out or do I just need a bigger hammer and get it red hot?
 
I turned up a tool to do this the other day! If you have 50m/m of Dia 20m/m pilot followed by 50m/m of Dia 25.9m/m and then an extra bit to hit - that usually does the trick. Maybe I will make up a batch and get them hardened too....
