Harken Flatwinder 500 Gearbox Cover

[geoffschultz]

This is probably a long -shot, but can anyone tell me how the gearbox cover (2) on a Harken Flatwinder 500 is held in place? Mine is in a difficult-to-access area, and I need to get it off as the screw (7) that the transmission shaft (4) in place seems to have come loose. It feels like there's a edge at the top of it, but I have been unable to pry it down. I've also tried rotating it with a channel-lock, but it doesn't budge.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have the manual?

2. Remove the Cover Screw: Locate the M6x12 screw (part M0604003 or similar) holding the cover. Unscrew it.

3. Remove the Cover: Gently lift or pry the cover (S357050052). It may be sealed with O-rings, gaskets, or sealant. Tap lightly around the edges with a soft tool if stuck, but avoid damaging sealing faces
