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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Huge thanks- that’s encouraging. The way I see it nothing to lose- this course is easier and if it doesn’t work I can always go to plan b!

Forgive my taking the low road here (and I’ll do some Googling also) but let me get your opinion on this. Admittedly I don’t know the best way to apply it, yet, but I’m assuming I’d fill in the gaps on the splines and then slide the new sprocket on. Now that would squeegee some of it along towards the base of the shaft/case, squeezing out onto that area (the sprocket fits flat against that base, of course.) There’s a flat ledge section of the base of the shaft that the sprocket seats against (about 3mm) so wondering if that excess stuff squeezing out could be any kind of issue. I guess you’d periodically spin the shaft while it cures so there’s no bonding of moving areas. Maybe I’m overthinking it. :)
