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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE410 -99 oil change problem getting mesh filter (cigar) out

Husky E410 -99 oil change problem

Behind the banjo cover thing, right lower side in the engine, (opened with 14mm and 8mm sprockets), lies the cigar. The cigar is a two part metallic mesh filter, from this hole the oil is drained out, if you don't want to use the bottom screw.

Very close to similar thing shown here, it's a different Husky model though, the cigar looks very similar though:

At first cigar didn't come out at all, after 15min of struggle, the inner part came out, but the outer mesh part was very much stuck in there. Inner mesh had some metal flakes, not much tho. Didn't want to use hard tools on the mesh, since it seem somewhat delicate metal mesh thing, so the outer part stayed in.

Any tips how to get stuck cigar outer part out, without damaging it?
