the winch has been sitting for about 6 month, now one solenoid is sticking open, and the other is clicking. does anyone know if they are able to be pulled apart and cleaned? ... and how?
I have pulled solinoids with that type of crimped housing appart by machining the crimp off in a lathe. Maybe a hacksaw cut around peak off crimp would do same thing. But... you have to tack weld it back together. I think Christchurch Auto Electrics have them. Not to expensive from memory.
