"Generic Advice" - might not help but...
undo the two stays between the motor and gearbox ends of the winch ( assuming its not mounted ). Gearbox can then be removed from the drum.
Don't let the drum come off the motor end.
Looking at the inside end of the gearbox ( the bit that was hidden by the drum ) they should be a circle of small cap screws.
Remove these and the cylindrical body of the gearbox should rotate.
Allign it where you want it / its possible and then reinstall the cap screws and put it back together.
No guarantees... but.
Whilst your at it, i'd actually strip it down ( easy job ) and replace the grease with good quality stuff and make certain everything inside is as it should be.

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
