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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Removing a fastener

A fastener for the plastic over the muffler has decided it doesn't want to be removed. It turns but doesn't move...in or out. Can't get a grip on it with pliers as it is sucked right up the to plastic.
 
Is it a fastener that screws in to the subframe? If it is you probably have a insert that is turning along with the screw? Try applying pressure with 1 or 2 screwdrivers behind the plastic or even behind the washer/spacer itself while trying to unscrew the bolt.

This is a real pain if the problem is what I think it is. Good Luck!!

Or if thats the case try an air impact wrench to snap it out.
 
Went to George's. he's got a tool that removes the inserts...hydraulic ($500). Correct... the impact worked to remove the fastener. Glad I took the trip down to Uptite,....like hitting the EASY button.;)
