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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi, im having issues getting off my C.S. sprocket. Unlike the older models that have the snap ring, this has the nut. I couldn't get the nut off the conventional way with a breaker bar, couldn't get it off with an impact wrench which I don't like to use in the first place and couldn't get it off heating the nut with a torch and an impact wrench. Im running out of ideas here and any help would be appreciated.
 
Im pretty sure its right hand threads,I just peaked at one.The UBS nuts can really lock down,most of the time loctite releases if hit with a flame or heat gun,also tap straight in on the nut with the socket on there.Ill check with my techs in the morning to see the deal dont go Terminator on it yet.BILLF
 
Thanks for your responses. After staring at it for a very long time I had one bad idea left. Take the chain off, heat the nut again, but this time as it cools melt wax into the area where the nut meets the threads. The cooling should suck the wax in a bit. I also used a little penetrating oil. As it cooled, I put the chain back on, put rags against the swing arm, inserted a long round metal bar through a rear sprocket hole and into the rear caliper slider groove just a bit to keep it in place. Made sure the bar did not come into contact with the spokes, pushed the bike forward until the bar came to gently rest against the swing arm. I then used the breaker bar on the nut to gently take all the slack out of the chain and then a quick jerk and it broke free. Unbelievable how tight that thing was. Probably not the best idea but it worked and without any damage to anything.
 
I had similar problems, very tight and the nut is very slim making it easy for a socket to slip off. I borrowed a snap-on battery impact driver and it came off easily.
 
Mine was a B!@#$ to get off as well. Impact driver would not work.

I got the nut off by putting the bike in gear, applying the rear brake to keep the shaft from moving, and while leaning over the seat......a socket, breaker bar, and a 4-foot length of pipe on that did the trick.
