When I'm spooling the winch in with a load on it and stop spooling it, it unspools. So basically it doesn't hold tension. I have to keep bumping the "in" side to keep the line taught.

Any ideas?

The brake is not working!!! It is inside the drum!!! You cannot order parts from Warn directly, you have to go through a shop.

Thanks OOPS. How hard is it to pull apart? Maybe I can fix it?

You can get the parts from www.dsiwarn.com

Or, you can get the part NUMBER from them, and search either carparts.com or car-part.com with that number to get a *slightly* cheaper price.

I bought a new brake assembly and lower seal kit for my 8274 from DSIWarn. Ran me $120, but most of that was the disc to convert that ancient 8274 over to the newer-style brake.
