I have a 78 series D4D with a d4e winch. the free wheel-engage lever is stuck engaged. It took considerable force to get it engaged. I assume it hasten’t been used for years. My manual is for a d4d winch. It shows 4 bolts in the inspection plate top left. 2 bolts are visible at the back. Cannot see any under the tank. Doesn’t look like there is enough clearance for any. Are there some counter sunk screws? What can’t I see. Is there any problem leaving it engaged other than not being able to free spool? i can pry the plate up at the back but it will not come off. Not looking forward to pull the tank.
