after taking apart my winch to rebuild with the kit, I am now putting it back together. Everything is going per norm until I go to put the motor back into the upper housing...
basically when i stick it through the bearing hole and then put the pinion spacer and lock block on ... there is some play back and forth (pictured)
Im curious if im not supposed to shove it all the way in? because when i leave it out a bit everything works perfectly...
or am I missing some type of clip that retains it ...
take a look at my pics and see if you can help, would be very appreciative
where im pointing with screwdriver shows how it can be pushed further in which creates a bit of an offset on the inion yet its still attached and fine and funs the gear fine, but im curious do I not push it in all the way because when i have it out a bit in the second picture everything lines up perfectly...Maybe im supposed to have some sort of stopper??
