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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Am I missing something. It will not come out no mater what I try. Tweezers gravity and fingers have all failed. It really feels like it is suctioned in or something. It will give a little but not come all the way out
 
Just take a pick or small screwdriver and tap a hole in it, the hook it and pull it out.
Tinken uses a drywall screw. No problem once you learn the drill.
 
I was about to, but I was scared of bannging to hard and messing something up thanks for quick respobse. All sorted now
 
I use external circlip pliers, there's just enough to grab onto within the indent of the filter to pull it out.
 
I use a little pen-type telescopic magnet. Find one with a small enough 'head', and it works wonders at getting any debris out of the oil screen and sump plug cavities too! :)

Yeah I just picked one of those up, figures it would be good to have have around
 
You can use a strong neodymium magnet to help pull the oem style filters out.
I no longer use the stock oil filters and use a reusable stainless steel filter which is much smaller in diameter. This filter is much easier to remove.

Easy to clean. Compared to a fleet truck extended filter, it wouldn't clean as well, but compared to a hiflo, pretty damn good and it's absolute, meaning 35 microns in one pass. The real filtration happens when we change the oil.

have you ever changed it, or does it pretty much last the life of the engine? How many miles you put on with one of them?
 
We ran one for 8,000 hard race miles on our KTM 525 and I run it now on my 511 and current 525. Should last the life of the bike.
