winch lube
« on: April 24, 2006, 22:41:15 »
anyone got any recomendations on what grease/oil to use on my winch?

i've taken it all apart and cleaned it up just need to know what lube to use for the gearbox bearings etc

also should i pack the gearbox with grease or just give the gears a good coating?

Thanks in advance

Steve

ps its a warm m8000 if that makes any difference  :wink:

Molybdenum Disulphide, no I'd say that's a good grease to use, extreme pressure clingy grease, good choice.

CV grease here.  Used high pressure multi-use one time - winch was so tight I could barely freewheel it!  Warn M-8000, BTW.
