    Winch removal from bullbar

    Morning Guys,

    so i want to service my winch but i cannot work out how to get the bloody thing off my bullbar. I will upload a photo later of my predicament but i cant get a socket in behind the roller to separate the winch from the bar, i tried with a spanner but im pretty sure the amount of force ill need to remove it will need a breaker bar and i just cant get the bit over the bolt. are there any tricks to getting them separated or am i just a massive pussy and need to try harder, (or both haha).

    thanks in advance

    Pretty sure that the rollers don't need to come off. Should have 4 bolts that up up through the tray that the winch sits on. Let out some cable and you should be able to get the winch out.

    I think that's how I did mine.

    However I could have it all wrong.

    Na the patrol winch bar uses the top bolts to mount winch..

    So without seeing front on I'd grab a big extension bar and a good fitting socket and turn it from direct as possible in front..

    Then your other 2 bolts are under the front bash plate..
