Roy,
The winch is mounted to the boom. It does not come off with the shaft. Just remove the nut on the top of the arm which is attached to the shaft on top of the winch, and pound away with a sledge. You might bend a bolt or two as s/s is a little soft for hammering. Make sure you have a long bolt for this hammering. Fair winds, Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu _____ From: amelyachtowners@...

Aregular hammer or mallet will not work. The shaft came loose and I sandedthe rust off of it and replaced it with a thick film of white lube.When you hit the bolt with the sledge hammer, which shaft came loose? the one holding the Andersen winch? It sounds as if instead of dropping the gearbox, you raised the winch. Is this right? I'm about to try it, and would appreciate as much detail as you can provide. Thanks to you and Graham for your input!! Roy, Excalibur SM #195 packing up completely! Fortunately the manual over ride system in the SM worksquite well. I tried to remove the gear box yesterday using a puller - youundo the bolt underneath the gear box connected to the vertical shaft thatattaches directly to the rope drum and then you "pull the gear box down".Amel told me that it would probably be very stiff and that most likely Iwould have to remove the boom and take it to a work shop with a hydraulic puller.It appears that they are right! For your information it is thehorizontal spindle that connects to the motor that has failed on my boat. Amelweren't a bit surprised at this as my boat is 10 yrs old and depending onmileage gear boxes regularly fail at 5 yrs. Let me know how you get on, Iwill be using a manual outhaul now until the boat comes ashore for thewinter, new Yahoo!
