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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can't «split» my callipers

Hi folks,

I own a 2009 TE 310 (the one with the 50mm Marzocchi forks)

I'm currently trying to service my brakes.
However I just can't seem to be able to fully dissasemble my front calliper.

The two halfs are either totally seized, or not meant to be taken apart.
By the two halfs I mean this:

(generic callipers for reference – not the exact model)

Has anyone here had a similar issue? Are they that seized? Are they not meant to be taken apart? I was able to remove one of the two «sliding bolts(?)» Since one of them has got a nut on it so you can comfortably screw the thing out. The other «sliding bolt» hasn't got anything to grab on to – and thats the one that seems to be stuck (the non-threaded end is stuck).

Already tried: Lubrication and letting it soak for a couple of days / tapping on it in a vice (not too violently) / heat treatment then some more tapping. Nothing worked so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
 
Its seized. The two parts should slide apart easily.

Keep trying or get a good used one. There should be something on ebay.
 
Just work out wich ones solid and put a greese nipple in it, blow it apart with a greese gun thats what i did an my calipers lovely.image.jpg
 
Hi folks,

I just gave the calipers to my local bike-shop. I'll have them a go with it, and if they are unable to sort them out I'll look for replacement.
Already found some decent offers on the bay (only in the UK and since I live in Switzerland, Shipping usually takes some time). Too bad I have to sort this out since I wanted to go riding this weekend :mad:

BTW: The bolt that is stuck is this one:

I'll keep you updated …

Cheers!
 
Solved!

Local shop was able to get them apart.

I polished the seized bolt back up a bit, generously lubricated the two sliders and put it all back together.
Now I just have to replace the speedo-sensor which I busted in the process – but that's just details :)

Thanks for the help everyone!
 
take that apart and give it a good cleanin n greasin real regular like use a top shelf slickyshit
 
I didnt realise it was his front, but yes the psi involved with greese gun is huge so if you cant wiggle / penetrate the pin free its the captive slider one the. Yup tap a nipple in and blow it apart.
