• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Clutch shaft removal

How does the clutch actuating shaft come out of the center case? Is the seal the only thing holding it in?

Check there is no screw in the cases that goes into a slot in the actuator shaft to prevent it coming out. If no screw then yes the seal is the only think stopping it popping out. I would expect to find a screw.
 
Yes, I removed the screw. I guess I have to try a little harder. I tapped it some but I didn't want to damage anything.
 
I've removed several of these and many have not come out easily. It sounds like you have removed the retaining screw. The seal will come out with the shaft. I've never removed one from the outside, i.e. pulling the shaft out, I've always had the cases split so I've always pushed the shaft out.

The shafts that I've had trouble getting out had a bur along the edge of the half round part of the shaft. On its way out the shaft scars the well in the aluminum/magnesium case. When this would happen to me I'd clean up the shaft and the well in the case with a fine grit emery cloth or a fine grinding wheel so that reassembly is smooth and effortless.
 
Thanks guys, I have the cases split for a new rod. I'll work on it tomorrow and see how I make out.
