so I've read all I can find on breaking down the 8274 winch. The Pirate link is very good, so is the warn service manual (Warn sent me a copy of one with the basic break down and service info)
I just want to change the oil. Do I have to remove the motor to split the case? Every thing I 've read has been a complete rebuild, i do not need to do this (unless when I break the case apart I find otherwise), They start by removing the motor then the clutch release etc.
Can i just split the case with the motor on and the clutch mechanism in place?
Also, My Warn info says to use: 1/2 pint of, "20 weight non-detergent motor oil" or "Transmission fluid type "F" "
I think I have the tranny fluid, but would rather use Motor oil..any input?
Thanks
JON
