MOTOR REMOVAL
:
Note the motor placement for correct
replacement before any removal, also
checking and marking any wires that
will be removed.
Repairs are easier and safer when
winch is removed from vehicle and
located on a workbench.
Secure wire rope with rope or electrical
tape to prevent flaring.
Remove motor with housing and drum
support from the drum by removing the
two ¼-20x5/8 tie rod screws with the hex
Allen wrench or Torque wrench.
If “not” replacing the armature, the
cap assembly must be taped to the
body of the motor case to prevent
springs pushing cap off and allowing
brushes to become dislodged.
Motor is removed from motor housing by
removing the two motor bolts located on
top of the motor cap.
