Lofrans Tigres Windlass Basic Maintenance Part 1: Extraction of the shove gipsy, gipsy / chain wheel and gipsy holder |
Remove the chain of the gipsy and secure the chain.
If necessary use a 17 mm socket to lock the gipsy stopper into a gipsy border socket
gipsy stopper is now in a gipsy border socket
using the emergency handle unscrew the wingnut
extract the shove gipsy
in my case it was difficult as I had not grease the windlass for the last 3 years...
It was time consuming and had to use several screw drivers
I suspect it will be a lot easier if I do it every 3 to 6 months
finally the shove gipsy is out
using a 13 mm socket unscrew bolt, remove washer and stripper
Note: I put a rag in the hole where the chain goes to prevent parts to fall in
bolt and stripper out
remove the gipsy/chain wheel
in my case it was difficult and time consuming
had to use long screw driver as well as hammer to slowly wedge it out
I suspect it will be a lot easier if I grease it every 3 to 6 months
I used the emergency handle to rotate the gipsy/chain wheel
then use screw drivers and hammer
gipsy/chain wheel is extracted
next is the gipsy holder to extract
During the extracting of the various parts, I used a lots penetrating oil (I used ZEP 45)
screw drivers as wedge
bigger screw drivers
the gipsy holder is out
