As others have said, replacing the strap is quite easy. I actually replace a cable with the strap even that operation dis not require taking the winch apart. Take your time winding the new strap on, maybe have some help keeping it tight as it goes on. I think you'll like this new strap.

When you unwind it completely just note how the stap is held to the bottom of the spool. It should have some type of retainer. Undo it and attach new one. Straps are very slick and need to be held securely to the cross shaft of the spool Or they will slip! I just bought a new winch and it did not have the retainer for a strap. I had work hard to attach it correctly so it would not slip. Good luck

It's not too difficult. just unwind the existing strap and note the way that the strap is fixed to the drum. Detach the existing strap. and reverse the process with the new strap. You can most likely use the existing attachment hardware unless it's badly rusted or damaged. If that's the case, you might have to replace the hardwire or the entire winch.

I installed the latch, and it worked fine. If you install the latch correctly, it will not need to replace or tighten after pulling the handle for few times or more times. May be you did not put the cable correctly into the slot, that why it got off when you pull the handle for few times.

It does require drilling a screw that's usually slightly larger than the screw holding the strap knob currently. As always (put barsoap in the tip/threads of the new "straplock" screw) and use the recommended size drill bit when "re-coring" for the new larger screw (have a electric drill and various small wood drill bits). If you have ANY doubt, then I'd say take it to a well trusted and referred guitar technician/luthier. Their experience is almost ALWAYS worth the money!!

Gently with a flat screwdriver you will be able to open it. It took me a few minutes to do so, but was never able to attach the strap to it. Good luck!

I couldn't figure it out, so I just use without the straps! Let me know if you get an answer that would help us both.

Its not hard. Slip the thin part of the strap into the bottom or top hole and push it through leaving an open loop. Thread the thick part through the loop, pull tight and you are all set.Good LuckKenWebmasterAbout Facts Net

I purchased a 2500lb atv winch from harbor freight for $59.00. I mounted it on the back of the rear rack of my quad. I removed the crank assembly and replaced with couple of small shackles. I attached the winch hook to the shackles. The winch came with a remote button so winch operation in and out is easy. It works great! John G

The strap is meant to fit a 2" winch, so it will be slightly less, it is standard.

You need to install a winch bracket. The winch itself is not that hard to install, but you need the plate to bolt it to - and that part varies by machine.

I can't answer on how to repair the Velcro, but for others who use this device, I never undo the Velcro...just force my hand into the opening. If I did have the problem, I would sew the straps down permanently, and just live with it that way.

The same as Dan Tate said: I would double it over at least 4 or so inches and get a grade 5 or 8, 3/8 inch diameter bolt, perhaps even an eye bolt to simplify things. Of course spend the money on stainless steel and use a couple of fender washers on either side with nylon lock nut to finish it off. As long as whatever you're securing this strap to is sturdy, the last thing you would be worrying about failing would be this strap itself. It is truly a strong strap.

you could use your old strap. not the most secure but would work in a pinch

You can mount the strap over slung and under slung, although no, the winch only works in one direction.

Yes. Just be careful when you replace the strap and pay attention to the location and placement of the internal pieces that switch the unit from forward to reverse motion. They will fall out when you open the housing but are easily put back if you remember where they go.

Apparently, you have to drill holes to attach the strap yourself. I didn't understand this when I first purchased the strap, but I was able to rig it up without damaging either of my instruments.
