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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I own a 2012 Husqvarna cr125 and need help removing the top bearing of the triple clamp, I removed to top clamp so I can re-grease or buy a new bearing but the bearing is stuck in the frame and I cant get it out, I don't know if the top bearing is pressed in or needs a special tool to remove it or something.
 
Top bearing should pop out or pry out fairly easily as it's not pressed on or anything like that. I'd say it's rusted on, apply some CRC or WD40 and let it soak.
 
Are you talking about the bearing or the race? The bearing should pop out, the race needs a special tool or a some motivation with a hammer/punch.

The tool for the race looks like this...

Later,
 
It's the bearing stuck, I know the race stays in there. I used wd40 and it's still stuck, it's not rusted in there. The clamp still rotates but it's stuck or something like it's locked. Other bikes I worked on the whole clamp assembly would slide out but this is my first husky and don't know if it was different from other bikes.
 
the bearing itself sits on top of the stem doesn't it? Covered over by a rubber dust cover then the final clamp on top of that. It should be easy to get out, but the race, the metal ring the bearing is housed in, needs the right tool [above] or a flat edged screwdriver and several hours of swearing as you try to hit it out. Or you can weld a little bit onto the race, then hit that until it pops out the frame
