I just wanted to let people know that rebuilding the winch is super easy. I have a Warn M12000 and I'm glad I took it apart because it had some rust and the old grease was hard and dry. I rebuilt it for a few bucks in new gaskets and a tube of high temp grease. I also took the opportunity to relocate the control box under the hood to get the solenoids out of the elements. If you're thinking about this kind of maintenance, go for it! It's easy and fun to see how the winch actually works.
