Great content Fella’s. would recommend smothering all the electrics with dielectric grease as an extra water sealer.👍
My winch has shit itself, thought I'd check KZread and here you are fixing the exact same winch. Great video , cheers
Great to see someone actually fix the problem rather than waste the money to replace it. Keep up the good work.

Well done. Just what I needed to see. Had mine in bits today. Cleaned and regreased. Still clicking.. solonoid tomorrow. Thanks.
The Grande winch was made by Tigerz11, which was bought out by kings maybe 7-8 years ago. They were quite a good winch for the price.
Keep up the good content guys! I’ve been procrastinating servicing my control box and this video prompted me to finally do it. Cheers 🤟🏻

Awesome video guys have just had similar problem today of winch out ok but not in. Im now subscribed keep up the great work. JD
Well done young fella might have to try this now my winch power light is low and stopped working after going through some water
excellent fix. I loved the look on the face when he punched the button and the battery wasn't connected. 😂👍
Well done mate good vid mate loved it 👍
To fix freespool, pull the gearbox apart, hit it all with degreaser, and put back in new grease, but not so much, and use good quality grease. Not that red stuff, the green waterproof stuff is pretty good, but anything with moly in it will do the best job.

Yeah I second the moly grease. Same stuff you put in the CVs for the high pressure. I rebuilt mine once and didnt have the proper grease and stuck some high temp wheel bearing grease and it was to viscous and a real pain to unspool. Next rebuild some good moly grease and what a world of difference.

Great ingenuity there guys, another option for the future could be a 3D printer, you can print out the custom parts you need using different types of plastic such as TPU for gaskets or ABS for external fittings. You can buy a decent printer for a couple of hundred dollars
Great video Boys

Really liked the tear down. Stuff i noticed is often when coils are wet like the solenoids, sometimes it creates croision on the coil, cuasing the coil to ark and short. Might be better off just getting a new box or solenoids or i guess if you got protection before battery it wont matter until it fails. The drainage holes on the box is probably to allow water to exit (ideally), If it was totally sealed, as temperature outside heated up and cooled down air and moisture would slowly make its way into the box though that expansion and construction. With this then comes internal condensation causing water to become trapped and kill the internal elections. It's a common fault on solar lights and stuff. Downside i guess is if you do a river crossing or bog hole and water enters :(
My kings winch/solenoid is making the same noise, after watching this vid im going to pull the solenoid apart tomorrow, great video very informative, hopefully that's the only thing wrong with it. Cheers
my free spool was hard to pull out fixed it by pulling the gears out and changeing the grease as my one had way to much in it .. once i changed it i can now basicly pull it out with 1 finger haha

It’s hard to unspool probably because someone has rebuilt it in the past and used wheel bearing grease or something similar that is to heavy. Probably last longer actually as a result.
to make free spool easier pull the gearbox apart, and on the sleeve that the free spool knob moves in and out to engage, ensure the outer sliding surface is clean of any excessive amounts of grease. i like to use som light oil on mine. this should make spooling out easier.
Cheers legends, fixed mine today had the same problem 🤟🍺

Keep the hoody cords away from that lathe too
I recently saw a video from Ed China ( formerly from Wheeler Dealers) using a solution of Vinegar 12 cup and 2 Tbl Sp. of salt to remove and clean copper wires that were suffering from corrosion- then neutralising with a solution of water and Bi-Carb of soda.
Shit go!! ‘Fix any winch… but…um…actually nah don’t worry about it’
I’d keep those hoodie strings well away from that lathe!
that wire wheel has me dead😂😂
When ever i install a winch i take the solenoid out of the cover and mount it inside tge engine bay so you can spray it with crc and visually check its condition every time you oven your bonnet
Nyyyyyice.
The winch is hard to pull out because it has excellent seals. I had a Tigerz and now a Kings and they both do the same thing. But they both are perfect inside, unlike other name brands which freespool easily but let water in. Just use the motor to spool out.

Well done Cobra ya got it goin again. Hey the same to my warn xd9000 winch but the crease was cooked so cleaned it all up and re-greased it. Now it will pull but won't hold the weight on the line it will free spool back instead of holding the tension. Do you think I put the gears in the wrong way or something else?

Did this and it was fairly clean to start with , didn’t fix it unfortunately Inside of the winch looks similar to yours once opened nice and clean , Put it back together and tried to bump run the winch with some jumper leads off a battery, still no luck. Any suggestions where to go from here
Hi Boys, great video, but not much of a challenge for you. If you can find another old winch, clean it up and mount to the rear of the patrol. Do the wiring and test it out Regards Alex

Use a bit of dielectric grease on all your solenoid rubber gaskets boys, it will help to keep water out of there 👌

winch binding due to distorsion when bolting to winch plate shimming required.
Did you work out why the cable was hard to pull out? My winch has been getting harder to spoil out over the years.
@AussieArvos

Not too sure mate, just could be due to its age, maybe gears binding up or something to do with the grease

No it wasnt. Tigerz11 came first, then the grande was the kings first foray after rebranding from tigerz11.
Tried to buy a sticker and your website is down
If its anything like my grande winch u will find the planetary gears have begun rusting and probably siezing up. Its the beginning of the end of that winch
I’m hoping the hilux I’m getting winch works
Not sure if anyone commented it but Grande means big in spanish

tell me about it HAHAHAH
to much grease in the gears causes pressure which makes free spool hard. dont pack the gear box full of grease
It'll save you a few bucks
next time pull your winch rope out put it in free spool gear and press out on the winch when pulling on the rope out heaps quicker
Too much grease is why free spools tight
Far out looks like a bucket grandad spec
You didn't show if the rope pulls out any better. Can't see it would as nothing was changed. As below it might have to much grease
Get yourself a roller fairlead and save your rope.
Hyundai is one propellers
Dude no! Change the grease in the gear box!! Use a marine grade grease. It will make it run a million times better. Will free spool out way easier too
@Werner0987654321

Yeah agree with this. The planetary gears in the gear box is what causes the heavy spooling... i had the same issue. Clean out the old grease and put in some fresh stuff. I couldnt free spool mine and now i can pull out the rope with one hand.
buy a high quality winch in the first place , when you really need a winch you do not want it to fail. Warn made in the USA
