Thread: winch not working - need to remove my bar

Thanks to the advice from here, getting it out wasn't that hard.

Motor housing full of dusty rusty water. Pretty sure the motor will be in a bad way.

I'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself. After following some internet advice I stripped the motor housing and gearbox apart. Cleaned them all out, sprayed electrics with insulating varnish and greased the gears. Gave the whole show a good fix of inox and almost got it all back together. Just tested the motor with jumper leads and working a treat. Sounds great too.

$17 for some electric spray and new nuts = working winch again.

Priceless advice from on here too. Thanks all.
