Winch drum getting hot just winding rope in and out

[mudski]

cant you vacuum them once sealed like you would for anything else with a small compressor ?

Yeah some will pressurize the winch via a compressor....
It all back together and I have left the grease that I used in there. Will see how it goes. The three brake pads where pretty well putrid, covered in rust and dirt. The drum is spotless now and its all back together.

New boots on the leads and its set to go back in. Again...

@ Mark have you got a sleeve over the first layer of rope on the drum,
Dyneema and heat are not the best of friends

Yeah I do John. I reckon it would be better to cover the drum centre with exhaust wrap. But I can't as when the rope is wound on its just touching the two bars that run from left to right. I have made up a template to fabricate an extension bracket to move the bars out an inch, then I'll have room. Just gotta find time to make the brackets.
