Lofrans Tigres Windlass Overhaul Part 10: 4 Pictures from 84 to 87 Removing oil, lay parts, failed attempt to remove the bolt to inspect the brushes

Picture 84
Inside the windlass was still the Combined bearing Rax 720 (Part 346)
Somehow, I did not feel I wanted to try to remove it

Picture 85
Absorb the rest of the oil

Cleaning

Picture 86
In order to not forget any part, I put them in order they were removed (including seal, o ring, circlip, etc. that will be replaced)

Picture 87
Using sand paper, removed the rust from the electric motor

My biggest disappointment is that after 4 hours of trying
(using penetrating oil and gently hammering screw driver)
I was not able to remove any of the screw to inspect the brushes...

Meaning, when the brushes are out, I won't be able to use my spare (which cost $78)
but will spend $1220 (plus shipping) for a new Electric motor 1200 Watt 24 Volt (Lofran part#418b or Imtra part LWP8252)

When I purchase the vessel in 2012, I remember in the survey it said 1 of the electric switch was not working
I had it changed, I wish the person at the time would have mention something about the rust, etc.
A good reminder you always to supervise people you hire
