Very useful video. Thanks. Feedback- I think you could do with mentioning that it’s not always the plastic gear that breaks. In mine it was the metal crank spinning round and round in the cable reel. I’ve now ordered a replacement (aluminium) reel. With that and the new aluminium gear my wheel carrier should be the finest in the land! Ha.
All very good and a nicely made gear but the problem with my one not being able to wind back up was due to the spline on the aluminium drive shaft had worn away and rounded off the splined centre location on the plastic cable reel so it couldn't drive the reel round.I had to alraldite the shaft into the reel to keep it in place then i drilled a 5mm hole right through the assembled reel and shaft and pinned it with a 5mm dowel.
The kit was supplied very promptly and is of good quality. However I did encounter two problems: First, the demo clearly shows that the small gear wheel on the drive spindle is fitted with the teeth upwards, towards the "lid" of the unit, when it is dismantled. The demo then shows it being refitted the other way round. Another video by Michael Logue shows it with the teeth upwards. Looking at the mechanism, it looks as if the teeth should be upwards as there is nothing for them to engage if facing down. My guess is that they engage with some ridges in the top plate as part of the locking mechanism. Secondly, using nuts and bolts to replace the rivets causes a problem when re-attaching the unit as they stand proud of the plate where the rivets sat flush. The heads of two of the bolts foul the cross-member to which the unit attaches. i tried packing out the attaching bolts with a couple of washers but then the wheel would not tighten fully to the underside of the boot floor. I could not see an easy solution so I just bolted the unit back on anyway. The bolt heads stop it sitting flush against the cross-member, as it did originally, but now the wheel tightens up to the floor properly.
The video seems to suggest that the mechanism will lower the spare wheel sufficiently to allow its removal from the device. Not very helpful if the fault doesn't allow this (first example in common symptoms of failure above). How does the wheel then become detached to allow access to the broken carrier mechanism?

philhowse mine was rounded off so much there’s not a lot left to glue it to! I’ve ordered another cable reel. Aluminium.
Merci beaucoup pour l’explication j’ai réussi à ouvrir le treuil et changer le mécanisme 👍
Comment tu as ouvert le treuil stp ?

When you open the case, you put the first weel upsitedown on the schaft.
Indeed.
Also at the final step, they put the wheel upside down!
:)
Bardzo dobra robota 👌
great video, thanks
Hey mate you got the gear under the lid the wrong way up.
Indeed!
1:36 anyone know the bolt size
Quelqun sait comment ouvrir le treuil? Car les vis n'ont pas de tête
Blokada jest odwrotnie założona! The blockage is reversed!

All Very Good
How the fuck do you do that when it’s siezed and won’t lower to the floor...
Gibt fähler bei diesem aufbau 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
