Best place to buy Warn Hi mount parts?

Spent only about 10 minutes on it tonight. Gott he control box off, the rusted on circlip on the brake shaft, then the washer and thats it. The brake cover wont budge. So its soaking in everything until I get to it next. Also order the kits from amazon too.

How does the brake assembly come off the shaft? I assume once the circlip is off, the whole lot should slide off? The circlip and washer were pretty rusted, so the rust is holding the rest together.

Ah yep they're a bastard ! ! Defiantly a good soak should help think I ended up putting the brake assembly in a vice and whacking the shaft and eventually got it. Might need some heat too, years of rust makes them a biatch . . . Good luck . . .

Can I remove the shaft from the casing with the brake still on it?

Yes mate. That case is actually spring loaded. Spray and soak. Then hit hard.

‘Penetrene’ is great stuff mate.

Yep. Take the shaft out of the housing and then whack the hell out of it. Go hard.

Is there any issues with peening the shafts end, metal on metal, a hardwood block between advisable perhaps?

Friday nights, re-reading Mr Mark mate. Honest apologies if my posts have come across negative. High Mounts are awesome and please do Cherish that Beast in time $ to slowly build/come as you’ve mentioned planned.
I do worry for you and your families wellbeing with a GVM 3.4T legally increased GU beast. Rules of thumb are double your vehicles weight for a suitable recreational winch and then some for a grown family (++camper trailer) etc... General truck/winch loading advice here above has been from Genuine Top Blokes although GQ/Y60’s are at least 50% less weight than your upcoming needs. Wanking on..I’ve owned only two high mount winches over say 20 years. They are at their peak IMO in standard form on a 2.0Tish recreational truck. Double line block back will halve your speed and length if I recall correctly totally negating the benefits of a high mount barrel! Darren is passionate about brake shafts and their strengths for good reason on big trucks!
