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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Steering Stem Bearing

Has anyone successfully removed the lower bearing from the steering stem? If so, how did you get it off the shaft? I'm sure I'll destroy the seal, I just don't want to wreck the lower fork clamp or stem. 2012 te511.
 
i use a Dremel. cut the cage, remove cage and bearings, then CAREFULLY slice a notch in the inner race. smack it with a chisel or thin screwdriver and it will split. keep the tool wedged in and slide it up and off the stem.

save the inner race for reinstalling the new bearing. i keep one of the outer races (one that goes in frame) as a reinstall tool as well.
 
I heat the bearing up with a blowtorch. It will get loose and can be tapped off, or maybe even will fall off.
