Warn winch rebuild

[achjimmy]

I did mine from new with advice from Mal. He was certainly very generous with his advise, I did explain to him I was in sydney and was a fitter with acess to machinery?. it would be a lot harder from used because things would cease up.  But it ain't rocket science. Oh and I did get the offset tierods from Mal think they were less than $60 posted.

I know the Runvas are like the holy grail atm and I even put a mate on to the seller here. But I can't see any winch going for long with repeated dunkings and minimal use?

[GeoffA]

Mines in a TJM bar too But interesting to see, the drain hole is only at one end of the winch (motor or gearbox cant remember) which I find strange...

Is it mounted feet-down, or feet-forward? Is the drain hole at the bottom?

mounted down and rotated to have drain at bottom.

I might do the phone call saying im interstate and have access to machinery

That's what I meant, sill mounted (door sill) 1 each side. Want an f1-11 to go with that?

No, but thanks for asking.

Would packing them head to toe full of greece keep the water out?

[achjimmy]

Silcone will water proof it , then put a drain and breather in the end casing for the motor.  After I did mine I bought a  warn end casing already taped with a BSP port in it. Next time it's out Iam  Going to hook it up to a small blower motor that runs concurrently with the winch . Maybe with an override switch for after water crossing?

I know their economy is crap but i dont think they'll all fit  .



I pulled my old M8000 out a few years ago after it failed to winch me out of my parents back yard (another story ) and expected it to be rooted since i hadnt touched it since fitting it 9 years ago.
  When i checked the motor it was totally dry and the gearbox was still greased just as i left it, in my ARB bar the winch is fitted feet up in a cradle between the end of the chassis rails.
Exposed as it is it has never copped any damage, winch is at least 20-25yo so i expected it was cactus but it works perfectly now.

I saw a rebuild via Google where they used a grease / oil slurry of some sort .

[V8CRSA]

When Mal did our winch it also cost is over $1100.....that was a bit of a surprise.
I know the grease you need to use is the EPL0 it's the thinnest grease, it's nearly oil, that's what Mal told me to use.

If it was my money again, I would buy a cheaper brand and just replace it every 5 years.......

The story of the kid in the Magna taking out the R32 is interesting LOL

[Bird]

4 hours of work today, its cleaned up pretty good!!!

now to get a couple of bearings and gaskets

[GeoffA]

Good work. 

Total cost so far, and expected cost when finished??

[Bad Scott]

how to get a couple of bearings and gaskets

Quality Bearings?
Are the gaskets just for sealing or do they add to end play??
If they are just for sealing why not use Loctite flange sealant   

[Bird]

2 bearings
6203 RS C3
6202Z

Got the gaskets from mate in this
