The port winch getting greased and it was a bear to get dismantled.
The old grease is really backed in and the bottom plate inside the winch was really hard to get off. We had to keep tapping it and very slowly it came apart.
Before we started.
None of this winch came apart easily. Had to keep using the oil to loosen up studs etc.
You can see some grease by the gear. That grease was hard and the gear had to move through it.
Lots od needle bearings in the bucket and gears etc.
Cleaned up the housing.
We do not have a picture of it all done but it looks and works good.
This winch now spins with two fingers like the starboard one does. It did take one hand around the winch to forcibly move it, not spin it. Of course it took way longer than I thought and was a lot more work. Hopefully next time it will be, well just easy
