inchman Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hi all, I have a superwinch husky on my 110. The freespool is very tight to pull out. Is there anything common to check before I strip and have Look at it. Cheers gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Do you mean the freespool is hard to move? Or the rope is hard to pull once the freespool lever is moved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I would suspect it just needs stripping, cleaning and re greasing. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inchman Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Thanks for all the replies. Yes the lever engages and disengages no problem it's just the rope is hard to pull out. I'll take it apart and give it a freshen up. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Make sure you use the correct weight lubricants (or equivalents) a fully synth 85W/140 for the front box. Iuse this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lucas-Oil-LUC10042-85W-140-Heavy/dp/B000IG20T0/ref=asc_df_B000IG20T0/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=255992094690&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1421330133028777465&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006563&hvtargid=pla-522260295254&psc=1 There is phosphor bronze in the spur (worm) gearbox, but it take a semi-fluid grease. I tend to use LR once shot swivel grease I also grease the drum ends, where they sit in the nylon race. I use https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1039-red-line-cv-2-grease-with-moly.aspx, but I buy it from Merlin Motorsport Also check your mounting holes are true and so is your front plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 A good service as above as a good start. When you unbolt the drum end support (with the drum empty), you'll then be able to pull it away depending on the bumper you've got. The plastic drum bearings aren't expensive and they just pop out new ones push in easily. They're also changeable without removing the whole winch from the bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
