Nearly fixed my TJM OX winch. I had this brainy idea to service the thing a few weeks back. Removed it from the bar, and took the rubber boots off where the cables go to the motor. Rusted to the motor bolts ( I suppose you call them) like you would not believe. Touched the first nut with the spanner and snapped it off. Tried the next bolt and it spun around about half a turn and would go any further. So I got the Dremel out and cut the nuts of so I could remove the leads to the motor. Opened the motor housing up and the copper wire on the back of one bolt had come right off and there was also another copper connector inside there that had also come off due to me trying to undo the bolts. UGH!
I rang about 20 auto elecs and motor rewinding joints to see if I could get these bolts replaced and re-soldered back on. No one would touch it. Most said normal solder wont hold because of the heat the motor will produce. Plus getting copper to stick to steel was near impossible. So out came the Google search engine and found a solution in 10 minutes. Went to my local shop and got some Hi temp silver solder (480c melting point) and some flux and I was on my way. I had some bolts already at home and I did it...wOOt!
Got the motor back together, now the cleaning of the gearbox side. Bit of rust on the outside large outer gear that slides in and out of the housing to engage and disengage. No problems there, a bit of wet an dry and new grease will fix it.
whats the best grease to repack the gears with?
