winch solinoid problem

Post by kitacooch »

Hi there, i have the common problem of a stuffed solinoid in the warne 10,000lb low mount, now i isolated the dodgy one and was going to replace it accept that when i went to the store they said i had to replace 2 of them at $80 each, so when i saw the waterproof one advertised in Hobzees with the rocker switch for $150 i decided to go for one of those instead, unfortunately even though they assured me they would send it that day so i can get it and fit it before i go away on the Friday, they didn't send it until today which means i won't get it in time. Now i was wondeing if i could drill out the rivets, open the solinoid up and see if i can fix the contacts inside, can this be done or would i be wasting my time??.
Cheers
