Toyota X9 winch

+1 for Ritchie...and he will also tell you if it really needs rewinding/replacing. It could simply be that the brushes are 'frozen' onto the armature through corrosion.....I've read a number of cases where this has been the case and the problem is solved by a good service.

I have just rebuilt my M6000 warn winch and have had fantastic back up and assistance from Warn in the US and Ateco in Sydney. The lady at Ateco, Colleen is knowledgable, practical,nice and efficient.
I've assumed you are wanting to do the rebuild yourself, a very easy straight forward job.
I got the serial number off the winch and emailed Warn US and they provided day of manufacture and all the diagrams, parts lists and advice in rapid turn around time.
Hope this helps.

Hiya Megan and Kev

It wont hurt to pull it ALL apart and regrease the gearing,clean up etc,make sure you use the recommended grease.Make sure you disconnect battery first etc before removal..

Leave the clutch assembly in the drum alone,put it back wrong and you could have issues as far as it letting go while winching up a hill (not what u want)...

Also the big screws on the side of the motor if they look rusted dont unscrew as you may snap them off because its copper on the otherside (inside armiture area)..

If the motor is rusted try sanding back with wet/dry till shiny again....I think the brushes will be seized thats where the issue's mainly come from,and its common for people to say its the solenoid....They rust back so hardly contacting the motor,therefore no power or minimal.

Once done spray lananol inside the motor area (it will not hurt electrics it will preserve them and then reseal,i resealed my Warn 9.5 XP right up the motor end as its poor design regarding letting in water failed me everytime but now it works everytime like how i should hav bought it......

I looked around for manuals for ya i hope this is it..
