If I just welded the bracket back together it would snap again. So I set about replacing the bracket.<br \/>\nFirst off I checked to see what brackets were available and decided on Warn&#8217;s own Zeon PN 89770 Winch bracket. Why ARB, who installed the bullbar and Zeon 10-S winch, didn&#8217;t used this in the first place remains a mystery. I tried to find a supplier in Australia but could not so I checked the internet and settled on Amazon in the US and whilst I could find cheaper prices for the bracket after adding the postage Amazon&#8217;s overall cost was cheapest. I got it pretty quick, Impressed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-940 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/index.php\/warn-winch-bracket-replacement\/201510wf-01\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-01-1-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Warn Zeon PN 89770 Winch bracket\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-01-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-01-1.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-945'>\n\t\t\t\tWarn Zeon PN 89770 Winch bracket\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/index.php\/warn-winch-bracket-replacement\/201510wf-screw\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-Screw-1-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Using security screws could make bush repairs harder\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-Screw-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-Screw-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-960'>\n\t\t\t\tUsing security screws could make bush repairs harder\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>First off I removed the old bracket and discovered that the winch has been assembled using security screws. It just so happen that my Stanley Socket set had a bit that would fit so no problems were caused. Although? I decided to remove all screws and replace them with normal screws to make it easier to disassemble if I need to in the future especially while on the road. As I was removing one screw the screw&#8217;s head broke off. There was lock tight in the thread, possibly permanent lock tight because none of the other screws had lock tight . Maybe this is intentional, anyway after a bit of messing about I ended up drilling the screw out.<\/p>\n<p>No wiring had to be disconnected so that was a bonus.<\/p>\n<p>After taking the old bracket off the new bracket was then fitted to the winch then I did some measuring to find the center of the opening in the bullbar as I needed to drill four holes into the bullbar to line up with the new bracket holes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-940 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/index.php\/warn-winch-bracket-replacement\/201510wf-04\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-04-1-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Find the centre\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-04-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2015\/10\/201510WF-04-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-947'>\n\t\t\t\tFind the centre\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I used a hole punch to ensure the drill bit did not go all over the place.
