True, it doesn't always go as planed! Good job. I totally enjoyed the voice overs. I laughed several times. This was a really awesome upload guys! Best wishes.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid you are so very welcome! Hope y'all s weekend is fantastic! Thanks for the pin 🙂

Very welcome :-)

[@whitenas]

Nothing better than hearing the kid in the background watching and learning. We need more that that these days

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Agree 100%! Thanks so much for watching :-)

[@pricetag30]

Thanks to this video I was able to put my winch back together after losing hope!

[@fourbyfourer]

Brought back memories watching you guys putting the cable back on. I did that all by myself, and it was not fun at all. Than about six months later I took the cable back off and replaced it with the synthetic rope. The rope turned out to be awesome.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Hmmm. Might have to switch to the rope myself...chain works but rope sounds good. thanks!

[@lindacummings6921]

It's great that Rich has the mechanical knowledge and ability to install replacement parts on an otherwise very expensive winch. That savings can now go into building your new homestead. Thanks for sharing

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Gotta save any way we can! Rich is a gem too❤️❤️have a great day linda and hope you’re having a wonderful summer so far!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Should have put brushes in it, and called it a complete maintenence ! That is the tough thing about buried components like that, they look ok until you start in on it. Great work ! Thanks for showing all of it, especially the parts that did not go so easy. Hope a great summer so far !

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

TheCanadianBubba thought about it but just didn’t feel we needed them right now! Summer is great so far and hope yours is too!Thanks for watching 👍

[@dalehammond1704]

You're a better man, I would have just ordered a new one. Good job.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Lol. It wasn’t as bad as it looked.

[@BackyardCustoms]

Most of the time I run into a bigger job when I think it's going to be simple! Awesome work!

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

No doubt! Thanks for watching 👍

Sometimes things don't go according to plan and that is exactly what happened when we went to change the cable on our Warn ATV Winch! It should have been a simple change but turned into a much larger job than we thought! Works like new now though so everything for a reason :-)

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Nice job bro. Good call on apply some blue loctite on those screws. 👍

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Viper6 yeah. Really needed it. Thanks for watching!

[@jac1b165]

awesome repair video my friend

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Thanks!

[@TheSponge945]

2 of my 4 brushes broke off the leads. How can this be fixed? Don’t think these can just be soldered on?

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

You will probably have to replace the whole brush.

[@lattitude01]

i'm rebuilding one that was used on a submarine ( not really but previous owner was clearly a fan of mudding) the seals had failed and the things internals were just absolutely caked with mud, any idea where to buy a seal kit for one of these winches?

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

I honestly don’t. I would reach out to the manufacturer… hope you figure it out 👍

[@lattitude01]

@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid Thanks!

[@utahwanderlust700]

I have that same 2.5 CI winch. It's been serviced twice for the rope hopping over and jamming the drum. It's a design flaw. You're better off just getting a new winch.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Appreciate the info 👍

[@daltondavisson8327]

What kind of crease did you use? Marine?

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

I just used some high temperature wheel bearing grease .

[@daltondavisson8327]

@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid when i done it a lot of people used bearing grease or axle so that what i use i had some laying around from rebuilding my trailer

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

That’ll work. I used what I had laying around too👍

I’m just impressed you can work alongside your wife without saying the ‘F’ word 500 times.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

We actually work great together 👍
