Hi Folks, I am a new member from NI, who badly needs your assistance.
I am struggling to maintain some very old winches on an island in Strangford Lough, which is part of a very small farm.
Need all the help I can get, as all the parts are probably pre WW2.
I need to remove and reposition a chain sprocket on a DC motor that drives a winch used to haul boats .
I have managed to remove the three grub screws from the sprocket ( One on the key way and two on the face ) but now need to pull the unit.
Q. Been soaking it in lube, but should I force lube down the threaded way with another grub screw?
Any suggestions please.
I attach some photos.
Thank you.

No need to apologise as you are new here and I just wanted to help.
