Warn 5687 disassembly help needed (1 Viewer)

[ginmtb]

Hello! I'm in the process of rebuilding my 5687 and have scoured many posts and other websites for info. Mine is a simple question - #54 in this photo:

It appears this is pressed onto a nylon/plastic bushing. After removing the zerk fitting (#55) and the washer (#79), how does one pull #54 off? Gear puller? Or can I just muscle it off? This part of all the info I've read seems to be not included - which makes me assume it should be very easy, an afterthought really. But I can't figure out how to get the dang thing off.

Thanks for your help!

#54 is the whole drum housing for that end. It should slide off easily (if the winch is not bolted on to a bumper or mounting bracket). If it's corroded on, you might have to use some kind of puller but be careful as the housing is fairly cheap aluminum alloy.

Thank you! I will spray a little PB Blaster in there to see if that will help.

And yes the winch is off the bumper lol. That would've been funny!

Despite the look of the motor, it works!

Little PB Blaster freed it right up thanks!!!

That is a cool old winch; a perfect fit for your 40.

Any thoughts on how to repair a sheared off copper bolt on the blade switch? I was thinking a copper bolt ground down so the head is flatter.

how did you get the motor cover off to expose to motor? I have four flathead bolts that I can’t get to budge for the life of me. my motor is covered in oil . Is that normal ?

how exactly do I take the motor out of the housing? Does it involve loosening the flathead

how do I get the motor out of the housing? Do I have to take off the 4 flathead screws ?

On my 8274, the motor is only held on with two long through bolts that go all the way through the motor and into the housing. You take out those two and the motor and pinion gear come off as one piece.

I did that but how does the motor come out of the housing. I tried to pull it out and it only moves about half an inch.

If you have an 8274 (not a Belleview like this thread is for), then yeah, you need to take off the clutch knob and fork off of the other side of the housing, opposite the motor. Then the motor should come right out.

I have a Bellevue. Did you have to take out the 4 flathead bolts that are on the motor housing before the motor slides out of the housing ?
