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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 TE310 Lower Steering Bearing removal

Just tore down my front end and found the lower steering bearing is done, I have a new set on order ( top and bottom ) but I am not sure how to remove the lower bearing. Is it just pressed on and I have to heat it up to get it off? The bearing needles are all off of it as it was as said done...
Started with me putting a new tire on and ended up with wheel bearings, brakes, fork seals and now steering bearings.

Thanks in advance!!
 
On my 450, there seems no obvious way of getting a bearing puller on the inner piece on the bottom of the steering stem. So I carefuly ground it away with a 4" disc grinder until it cracked and opened up enough to pull it off.
 
Good idea I will give that a careful shot! Would have thought more people have changed out that bearing as it looks prone to moisture and dirt the way it is designed.

The whole steering stem presses out of the fork holder assembly. Then the bearing can be driven off from the back.
