The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Yea mate they are easy as to pull apart..
And yea I think 3 years is a good time to service.
I pulled mine after 2 years and found a small trace of water / moisture in my runva.
Nothing critical, wiped out and re greased and put back together..
They are very easy.

Cuppa, I know bugger all about winches BUT we can learn together. As long as you're not in a rush.

Thanks Jack, moral support welcome & certainly in no hurry. Plenty of other stuff on the 'to do list' first!
As it is though, curiosity got the better of me & I made the effort to go & have a look at the access to the winch a short time ago. (This involved sticking a mirror on the end of a stick as laying under the car could see me stuck down there at present). It appears I was indeed informed incorrectly by whoever it was (& who's word I took) about the bullbar needing to be removed. There is a plate underneath the bullbar held on by 4 (or possibly 6) bolts which I expect is what Darren & Sooty have referred to as the 'splash guard'. That being so the job of removal just got a whole lot easier.
Darren, Sooty, would I be correct that the winch is attached to the vehicle via bolts into threaded holes in the 'feet' of the winch?

The winch is often attached by the 4 bolts into the actual bar. The fairlead bolts are often 2 of the 4 then the winch will simply fall down. It is heavy so needs support.

would it be worth pressurizing the winch for future water/river crossings
Im hopeing to do mine in the near future, just need a needle valve to
regulate the pressure needed.

Na..
For the little I do lol..
The gearbox was horizontal so I'm suspecting it's leaked threw that seal as it was quite dry.
New seal and lever is vertical now.
See how it looks in a year or 2.
