Subject: Pulling the winch gearbox apart. Mon Jan 17, 2011 10:16 pm
I got out yesterday planning to make a step by step video on greasing the gearbox and when I came in to check out the footage found I had issues with the volume and a few issues with the video so I got to playing with the footage and made a little video that might give you an idea of what inside the winch gearbox looks like. This is the second time I have had mine apart in a year and a half and I like doing it because it keeps the winch operating quite and this way I know what kind of shape it is in..
I know I have said this before but if you ever use your winch when it is under water the winch acts like a vacuum and can pull water in through the bearing behind the engage/disengage lever (or anywhere else a seal is involved) that will cause premature failure, a common symptom of this happening is the bearing will try to stick and cause the engage/disengage hard to spin and/or a noisy gearbox. Next time I pull mine apart I will try to get a better detailed video.

Keep those vids coming
You need to use the audio of yourself explaining in detail what you are doing. But the song was good too...

Thanks bro,
I planed on explaining as I went but when I found my audio was not "load enough"(because I used the wrong back cover on the GoPro) I decided to play a little with the video..
