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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Radiator Shroud Removal

I wanted to remove the radiator shrouds today. I could see that the little covers with 630 on them were ment to come out to access the bolt behind, but no matter what I did I couldn't remove them completly from the shroud. I was able to unclip the bottom clip which enabled me to access the bolt behind it, but the top two clips would not come out.

Is there a trick to removing these little covers on the radiator shrouds?
 
Looking at the manual you need to pop the top out first.

I did the same as what you did (pulled out the bottom and left the top attached), and one of the top tabs has broken off.
 
Ok thanks, those top tabs look like they are ready to break off mine now pretty soon too. Hopefully next time I'll be able to remove them correctly...
 
I popped the bottom out and left the top in.
If you're careful, you can get an extension/socket in there without having to completely remove the cap.
 
I tried again today to remove the cap by removing the top tabs first!, I had no luck, all I think I achieved was to move one step closer to snapping the top tabs off.

I think I will stick to popping out the bottom tab and leaving the top tabs in.
