Installation: Main Cable & Yoke (1982 & Older Tongue-Winch System)
Safety: Place jack stands under the front corners of the main frame before working underneath.
- Era check: this procedure is for the older system — a tongue-mounted winch with ONE main cable running to a 4-way yoke/spreader. If your winch has FOUR cables with turnbuckles, use the 1985–2000 guide instead.
- With the hard top down, raise the unit front for access to the cable under the frame (jack stands under the main frame).
- Insert the crank in the winch, turn clockwise just enough to free the ratchet, then release tension by turning counterclockwise.
- Loosen the cable clamp at the winch and remove the old cable; pull it out of the locking-bar loop and frame hole.
- Remove the two hex nuts securing the main cable eyebolt to the yoke.
- Thread the new cable through the frame hole and locking-bar loop up to the winch; insert the eyebolt into the yoke and secure with two hex nuts.
- Thread the taped end under the winch drum, into the clamp, and tighten.
- Check the upper door fit and mark the cable and winch body with yellow paint at proper height (full procedure in the guide).
