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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How to remove Sachs Shock Compression Adjuster?

I have a 2007 Gasgas EC300 Sachs shock disassembled for new oil (same shock as used on the Huskys). I would also like to clean out the compression adjuster since it is a little hard to turn but do not know how to remove it from the shock. I have removed the adjuster knob, but not sure what to do next.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Steve
 
I just discovered that it unscrews. Use a pair of right angle needle nose pliers with points down in two of the 4 holes on the body of the compression adjuster valve. Rotate counter clockwise and it unscrews.
 
I think the Sachs shock is much better than it gets credit for. Glad you figured out that adjuster.
