Be carefull with heat on the AL winch housing. You can tell when steel gets too hot but you won't know with AL untill it's puddled up on the floor

. This is a common problem because steel bolts in AL will alot of times corrode really bad. When you do get the out be sure to use anti-sieze on the threads to keep this from happening again

Ditto. Over time, AL and steel will chemically react to each other. Ever have an aluminum intake leak coolant on an older engine? And for sure use anti-sieze on the bolts when reassembling.
