rebuilding my 8274 and need to install new brake shaft needle bearing. can anyone confirm that proper installation of Warn 8356 brake shaft needle bearing is to press the bearing from the outside of the lower casing flush with the outside of the lower casing with cap facing outward? just want...

that's what i was doing when the cap turned loose of the bearing case. so now, i've got the sides of the bearing case still in the hole of the aluminum case and can't get it out.

looks like the brake shaft needle bearings are 1' OD x 1"W x 5/8" ID. Can anyone confirm this and know where to get them other than the $20-30 warn brand? also, it appears that the steel needle bearing casing has fused to the aluminum winch casing. when i tried to remove the bearing casing...

what are the dimensions of the drawn cup closed end needle bearing that holds the end of the brake shaft. i found a potential replacement on amazon that is 3/4" ID, 1" OD and 3/4" width for $8.16

finally convinced the main gear to turn loose of the drum spool with the help of a few wooden wedges and a BFH. i also used a few gallons of apple cider vinegar to remove the rust from all the gears, the motor cap, and most of the brake parts. unfortunately, the apple cider vinegar ruined the...

how did you get the needle bearing in and is this a warn replacement part or did you get it from another source? thanks in advance.

do you happen to know the part numbers?

Does anyone know the sizes and any alternative sources for the needle bearings on the lower case, and the bearing used at the motor shaft? I hate to pay $40 to warn for something I can get for $4 somewhere else. Thanks in advance.

what did you do to the casing to get the finish like it is?
