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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My mate has spent a lot of time helping me out with my recalcitrant Husky. He has done wonders but a few hiccups on the way, one is this bolt that goes right through to central casing has snapped deep!
Does anyone know how long this bolt is?
Am I going to run into issues pulling the side casing off? (I'm sure I will!)
 
Cheers rancher,
Will any high tensile bolt do or is there some special spec bolt I dont know of?
 
I'd say that any bolt will do, I replaced my cam cap allens with ones from the hardware store, many miles ago, had them off and back on several times, they've been alot better than the shallow-cap OEM bolts.
 
Thanks Rancher,
Now you wouldn't know the length of the bolts that secure the clutch slave cover in front of the front sprocket?

On extracting broken bolts - are there any products that are better that others on these casings?

16mm for the clutch slave bolts.
 
Bloody brilliant! Thanks Rancher, do these just come from your memory bank or is there a reference I can go to next time I break a bolt? Although I think the Rancher reference is faster!

Oh hang on is that the length for clutch slave? I meant the ones for the bracket that protects it?

Are you talking about the countershaft sprocket cover ? The bolt for the plastic part is 10mm long and the screw for the metal part is 14mm long.
 
The bolt that broke going through the oil filter cover goes into the center case of the motor. Be very careful extracting it. I had the same thing happen on my first 510 motor and it got messy because the bolt sits in a recessed opening in the case. Take it slow and you should be good. If things get too far mucked up the hole can be drilled out and a threaded plug that has a 10mm diameter with a 6mm threaded hole can be purchased and installed in the case to fix it, it just gets messy.
