Winnie's Warn hi mount rebuild

[Winnie]

Cool, I think it might have just been somebody who had done it wrong. Thanks Darren.

Yeah reading the instructions supplied with the service kit, it says that if you have the one with holes then you will need to replace it... I'll ask on the fb group and come back here.

Wouldn't believe it, spoke to a "Bryan" at Amazon about the broken brake disc, I suggested they post me on of those as they list it as a seperate part.
No sorry, we can't do that. I will send you a new service kit and you keep the old one! Bonus!

This is turning into a great score Winnie well done

So this was my issue with the brake ratchet disc, mine looks like this.


It is suggested to use this one


And it is obvious to see that the solid disc would have better braking abilities, but a lot of people use the first one with the standard Warn brake pads without any issues at all, so I will use what I have.

And how was your one damaged in transport???

Here's the goodies I received today

I will get the motor colour matched so that the housings will match it.
I will call the bloke welding the housings tomorrow and mention I want it for this weekend, my mate still has the brake shaft too so when I get the housings back I will take them all to his place and we will tap a thread into that and sandblast the housings.

Not that ratchet disc... the brake pad. It's a bit of friction material, like this.


I think we're overusing the word "disc" here lol, I just read back and yeah I see the confusion...

[MudRunnerTD]

I reckon the holes would provide some level of cooling and also a leading edge for friction anyway. That was my logic when i put ABs together anyway. I get the face friction but its Clamp friction anyway. THe taper on teh cam lock gets tighter and tighter the more weight you put on it. thats the idea. You will be fine mate. I was interested to hear if anyones friction material actually crunched and collapsed but doesnt look like it. Go for it i reckon.

I'm about to pull mine apart soon but I'm quite sure mine has holes in it. Haven't had any issues with brake performance.

[Rossco]

Just pulled mine apart and yep its got the one with holes. Brake pads look good as new, she'll be apples i reckon. Oil was a bit gunky and freespool clutch was bent but knew that, but would be why it was hard to engage / disengage. Glad it's getting some love.

You planning on getting this thing up and running by next weekend?

[Winnie]

Nah Ross, it won't be that soon.
I remembered too that when I pulled it apart it used the newer type of brake friction material anyway, so it had been run like that since god knows how long... probably since new so I wonder if Warn would have assembled it like that.
Yeah your freespool was a bit of a bugger... gonna get a new assembly for it? I thought I had a spare but they are both broken far beyond repair!
