i have a warn 8000pd high mount on the front, the problem i keep having is the freewheel lever keeps seizing up. I have already pulled it appart once and all the bearings flew everywhere
but put it back together and it worked fine for while but now it is seized up again. does anyone know a fix for this??

the high mount spools out under power about as fast as you can pull the free spool anyway - leave it locked in and just power the rope out.
has it been under water/mud?

nah no water or mud
yeah it does spool out but you gottta be on the switch to do it, it is easier if im in the truck with the remore and someone else is outside the truck and they can free wheel it.

that's what winch wenches are for
sorry man got so quick fix for your freespool, except to pull it all apart, fully clean and reassemble.
or go the air-operated free spool, I think Snake sells them.
