Corrosion fix - Warn Zeon winch?

[Pinion]

Spray the drum with some vinegar and scrub it with a scotch brite pad. Paint it with self etching primer and then a gloss paint of your preference.

Decided to see if I could get some access… got after it with vinegar and scotchbrite pad… then sprayed some BoeShield T9 on it and wiped it down. It’s not perfect but good enough. I will check back in another year or more.

Definite improvement! Hopefully the T-9 will help prevent, or at least slow, future oxidation.

I'm not sure whether to feel bad for leading you to the hook that started this whole mess, or good for helping alert you to a potential problem.

I'm also wondering about mine now, but it has not been used really at all, and is buried in the Rubi bumper where it is almost completely inaccessible.

Does the t9 put a coating on it at all? I would try to coat it with something to hopefully seal it before spooling it back up.

Great work. Looks much better now.

I almost do not want to look at mine.

I'll look at yours if you look at mine.

Definitely thick corrosion on the drum. Fairlead seems to have some kind of seal coating and the oxidation is underneath.

Still shocked at the amount. I have an email into Warn.

Here is the reply from Warn CS…
