Got the key ways out and everything done with the winch tonite. Goin to put it back on the truck tomorrow. I had to beat the bejesus out of them to get them out. Thanks for the input!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Good job of troubleshooting the problem !To clarify, I got this winch from CL. It appeared in great shape but had some leaks so I replaced all the seals and gave it a good cleaning. I never checked how well it shifted in/out (mea culpa). When putting it all back together, it shifted and locked in/out but could not get it to align with the factory drilled detents. I tore it down probably 7 times and it drove me crazy until I found this post!
YES, with that punch you should be able to turn the shaft both ways; that is, easily in the CCW direction - and feeling quite some resistance, when turning it CW............ I can turn it CCW but not a bit of movement when trying to turn it CW. Should I be able to turn it both directions? ...........
After reading post #4, and up to #13, you will know how to get that shaft out.Is there any trick to getting the shaft out?
The left side plug - and the smaller, threaded through-hole underneath it - is there because the whole winch is made so that everything can be flipped, left to right.The cover on the left was removed but there was nothing under it...??
It takes a 7/16" bearing ball.What is supposed to be under the detent spring on the lever
That’s a common problem, mine was the same way. Talk to George at White Owl Parts in NC. They have them. About $50.
I got the shaft out. Looks to me to be bent and twisted! I'm looking for a replacement and some seals so I can put it back together. Thanks for the assist on the removal directions. Sorry about the mis-location of my posts. I hate computers! ballencd
