I have 2 old XD9000i winches. They haven't been used in a decade. Both have some internal corrosion.
I have taken one apart, and cleaned up gears, brake, spool. With some effort I got the brushes moveable, and I lightly cleaned the corrosion off the armature.
There appears to be paper insulation between the field windings and the motor housing. Unfortunately I have not been able to loosen the slotted bolts that hold the field windings in place. I'd like to get the field windings out, remove rust from the inside of housing, and replace that insulation. I've sprayed the bolts with Liquid Wrench over a several day period, but cannot budge them with an impact driver & hammer.
I contacted Warn, but their only suggestion was to take it to a local starter rebuild place. I tried one, it wasn't much help. I'll try others. A local jeep facebook group had no helpful suggestions. I've sent an email to Bosch (the motor manufacture), no answer yet.
I've done resistance checks, and the armature & windings are good. I see no reason why I can't get the motor working again.
Has anyone had this problem?
Any suggestions to get the bolts out?
If I drill them out, is there a source for new ones (preferably with torx or allen head sockets)?
Thanks,
Al
