Name this winch??? Rebuilding a Vic Hickey Sidewinder
- Thread starter max 02
- Start date
Got my slide hammer to fit under the gear, came out easy after it has been soaking in WD40 for a week.
The bearing is still stuck in there, we tried to hydrolic it out by filling it with grease and tapping the gear back into it. That didn't really do anything but the grease in the bearing helped.
It actually sounds quiet and good enough that I am just going to use it as is.

trick I was told and used before is get inner race out and balls or rollers then weld a bead on the race left and the weld will shrink it up to make them about drop out on the floor.
just make sure you have no.s off it or replacement already .

Not sure, but its probably a big pain in the ass to change that bearing out later once it's together and on the truck. Take the time to do it right once, or you'll take it again later to redo it.
Does Luckys taste like goatpiss?
I hear you all...i'll play with it some more.
Mark i'm not sure what goat piss tastes like?
I might have to consult Fumes on that one.

Took the motor apart for fun...
Think there is any chance of cleaning that mess up and it works again??

Try soaking it in evaporust for a bit.. won't hurt anything.
Sanding any of that off is a bad idea? I read about cleaning the armature with evaporust, I like that!
Some guys said they carefully wire wheeled them?
Those windings may be lacquer or epoxy coated, you don't want to use anything abrasive on it unless you absolutely have to. That evaporust will clean the crap out of it, just let it soak for a bit.
Science project coming up! 
I'd see if you have a starter/generator shop locally you might be able to send it in to have it rebuilt. Those shops are getting fewer and far between for sure, but it would be right up their alley to clean that up and rebuild it.
I'm way to cheep for that...this is just a see if I can kind of project.
If it comes to it i'll get a new or replacement motor.
That cracked housing is the main thing i'm worried a about...if that turns out good i might think about spending some money on it? If that turns to shit it's parts!
Forgot there was a crack in this.
My experiment worked!! Thanks for the idea!
I'm a cheep ass so I made homemade evap o rust.
About three days sitting in the home brew...
Looks quite a bit better!
I cleaned it up a bit more since the last pics. I`ll take better pictures and post them up tomorrow...Looks usable now!
Carcinogen

So now what about the housing?
