Re: SER1 Capstan winch drive flange.

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/08/05]

this is a very vague memory (I had an aeroparts winch on an old SIII) - 
the flange can side straight off... except the slector-fork holds it in 
place (on the engine-side of the bridge the bolts onto the front of the 
engine..)

The driving flange would not come off the driving shaft because the ends of the spline had been burred over.  As a result we had to machine off the tips of the spline on the engine end of the drive shaft to release the flange.  The driving flange can now slide easily along and off the end of shaft.
