The manual says that the drum can be removed by a puller using the 2 holes provided.

or the drum can be drifted off by driving on the cable side of brake flange drum. I have been gently beating on the drum from the cable side towards the clutch side of the drum, but there is no movement at all. That is where I am stumped. Does the rivets on the crown gear need removed first on the other side of the winch before the drum can be removed thru the clutch side? The pto shaft drive pinion has been removed already.

Can anyone that went thru this very long and painstaking process to rebuild a winch help? It is going to be a great item to have if I can get it rebuilt, it has been a struggle so far!!!!
