Quick question to anybody who has played with these winches...
There are two types of brake shaft used by Warn as pictured below.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...015/07/110.jpg
I have the top, older two piece shaft. I have read that people are having trouble with the new Warn service kits and this type of shaft, in that after assembly there is too much play and the ball bearings can drop out, apparently the spring may not be long enough?
Has anybody used this shaft and run into this problem?
Another question I have, and I did not pay attention when pulling it down...
On the rebuild videos on the web I have not seen anybody reuse the small keys that Warn supply in the rebuild kit. Can somebody show me where these go? I know on the brake shaft but at what time...
Items 36 on this diagram

New motor and service kits are due to me next Monday.... can't wait, I am going to get the motor colour matched and use that to paint the housings.
I have no idea but those keys look like they lock parts 37, 53 and 47 together. And a they go together in the order of the diagram then locked in place by part 50 and 36 which looks like a circlip?
Yeah they're not long enough to reach part 43. 43 is locked to 47 by 46.
I think 36 is to lock 37 to 47 but in all the rebuild videos it seems that nobody reuses them...
Special delivery today from Amazon!
My parts have arrived, but they put the service kits in the same box as the big heavy motor... one of the brake discs is broken!
Damnit! And apparently I will need the new type of solid ratchet disc, mine is the old one with 6 holes that used brake pucks like this pic...

Warn say you can't use that disc with the new brake discs so I will need the solid ratchet disc.
ABs disk has holes too. I used the disks.
The key ways lock part 37 to the slots in the end of the brake shaft. Outer hub only
Sorry Winnie I have missed a bit of this thread, I didn't realize you were asking questions here bud, I don't read everything.
The spring only provides internal tension so the brake Disengages. The length of the gear that you have taken off in the pic determines everything else? Where have you read that the bearings fall out mate? Are you sure it's not just some flog who put it together wrong? The spring plays no part in that.
Hmm so obviously you don't think there would be any issues using the old disc with the new brake pads.
I don't know what to do about this brake disc... I have to ship the whole service kit back to Amazon and they will post a new kit out today. But I have to pay postage and they will refund it later.
I might have 1
To be honest Winnie I liked the look of the disk with the holes more. I thought that was a later model. Like running a slotted rotor. Did not cross my mind at all that it might cause dramas! Still don't think it would. If in doubt post a pic of your disk with holes in the HiMount FB group and ask there, there are plenty of guys there that rebuild these all the time.
I have that same brake shaft as the top one. It is now in ABs winch
