the large threaded section of the pinion shaft,
under the gear nut. Slide the pinion shaft gears
onto the pinion shaft. Install the pinion gear
onto the pinion shaft with the gears towards the
right wall of the winch housing. Screw onto
large threads hand tight.

pinion plate and pinion spacer in respective
order onto the pinion shaft.
The teeth on the ratchet gear
must curve towards the left side
wall of the winch housing.
