Mate, thank you so much for this video. I literally just bought the same exact winch that hadn’t been used in years and this video is going to help a bunch in trying to get this thing back to life! Cool cuts with the time lapse and the narration with the music as well, excited to see how your channel will grow!
For anyone trying to remove the brake there's an internal circlip that retains the whole assembly probably 15cm deep in the drum which is an absolute prick to get out. A long seal pick and a screwdriver will get it out but you'll need patience
Consider avoiding grease on the outside of the lock / free spool ring, coz its the grease which causes it to jam over a period of time. fit dry and then squirt some penetrating fluid before installing the lever & once in a while as regular maintenance for free movement.
@@T.A.G That's not a good idea leaving the steel in there completely uncovered. At the very last a thin coating is recommended, and its present from factory too.
According to a comment somewhere I did the brake wrong as I didn't pre tension the spring. However if you pretension the spring nothing slides smoothly and things bind. However I haven't had a drama with my winch so I'm happy haha
Hi mate, what are the Specs of the rope you replaced the wire rope with. Looking at the same, just confirming length and diameter of rope prior to purchase 👌
@@T.A.G Hello, I really enjoyed your video. I was watching to see how the planetary gears line up. I took mine apart yesterday and don't think it's assembled back just right. could you tell me where you found the reassemble instructions? Thank you for all the HELP!!! Terry from Pennsylvania
Unfortunately alot of people don't like watching 2 hours of monotonous work and a bit if stuffing around 😂😂😂 Otherwise I'd be happy too. From now on I may make short versions like this and in depth videos longer like you say :)
Out of interest how mush did this one sting you. I have one i am picking up soon hopefully and am trying to work out a fair price for both me and the seller.

Awesome to hear mate. Hope you get it sorted :)

This marine grease shouldnt dry out like the old general grease. But that's a good tip. Thanks

nice job mate, still useful today 👍
Great video mate! Have you tested the winch? What type of grease did you use? Do you know if this model earn winch has a breather?
Good stuff mate I found your video very useful. I am keen to have a crack at my winch after watching
Thanks mate. Hope it can give you a bit of guidance and help along the way :)
Great video mate. Think yours was worse than mine. I wanted reassurance regarding the brake mechanism before I strip it and you gave it. Thank you.

30m length when I think it's 12000lb

Classic, I watched to see how the brush assembly is changed and ….you didn’t show it!,,,! Xfvgdr
same i need to know how you hold the brushes out to fit the armature back in place.
That's all great but I wish you don't fast forward the video so we can see all you do

The Average Garage ok cheers, seems we are pretty well on the money then.
