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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I am in the process of putting my 360 back together. However, I cannot get the swingarm to fit back into its home. Does anyone have any tips? It appears that I am 1/4 inch too wide and I cannot get it to slide between the frame and motor.

my 01 250 required a rubber mallet and levers, bit of spring in the frame I guess:excuseme:
 
use rope and a chainblock or tirfor, attach rope to one side of frame and tirfor to other side both attached to something solid and pull apart.
 
Thanks for the above advise, I ended up using a sissor jack which worked great. However, when I let pressure off the jack the swingarm barely moves. I have checked Hall's site and it appears I have everything in place. Looking at page 92 for a 2001, I have numbers 2 and 53 on the inside of the swingarm and numbers 56 on the outside. Is this the wrong setup? Does anyone have a photo of their swingarm so I can see if I have mine assembled wrong. Thanks for the repiles.
