Anchor winch Key
Submitted by Rick on Mon, 2010-02-15 18:21
Just wondered if anybody has a Maxwell freedom 500 anchor winch ?
Have to replace the little plastic pressure arm but need the key to undo top of the winch. It is an 8 pointed allen key type setup that is around 21mm from point to point.
Just wondered if anybody has one they are willing to loan or hire out before I go and buy one
Happy to drive to pick up and drop back with a beer or 2
Cheers
Rick

flat bar
if the measurement is 21 mm between the cross sides maybe look at a section of flat bar and grind down until it fits neatly into the cross teeth and then use a cresent on the flat bar to undu the nut , dont force it and break the other sides of the security nut ,but this it might save you buying a special tool
