Re: Removing a winch from a GU winch bar
On some bars/winches you have to remove the vertical rollers to get to the bolts. Usually there is a circlip on the pin that holds the roller in place.
Remove that and then slide the pin out and remove the roller.
Mine was similar but I was able to get a spanner in regardless.
You might just need a slim spanner and put it on the bold slightly on an angle if you get my drift.
Post up a pics of your fairlead if this doesn't work mate.
