after watching a hydraulic winch in action i knew that it was what i wanted
for my project rubicon. i searched the net far and wide for a guide to walk
me through the installation process and although i found general lists i
couldnt find a complete guide so i knew what i had to do.

dial up friendly)

i hope some of you find it useful. let me know if you feel it is incomplete
or any other suggestions for improvement.

Try using a smear of PS fluid on the washers and o-rings. Surface tension should
hold them in place long enough to get it all settled. Or you could go to the outside
past the o-ring and use a small dab of heavy grease. I'd just be careful not
to get it into the PS system. (although it probably wouldn't hurt anything)

after the first try to place the solenoid assembly the entire area is
covered with PS fluid thats packed in the assembly. no joy. even tried a
dab of silicone.

Hmm.. that leaves using some sort of hi-tack sealant but I'm not sure
what problems that could cause if it got into the PS fluid. Could you have
made the ports level, sat the washers on the winch, then lowered the solenoid
pack down?

Maby saran wrap, foil, or some tape stuck to itself? That would have been
thin and fairly easy to pull out

Oh well, It's in and that is what matters in the long run. :)
