All:

Just read the manual for the K1550 winch and 
noticed an important note that some of us might 
not be aware of:

"DO NOT REMOVE OR ADJUST THE DOUBLE LOCKNUTS ON 
THE LONG END OF THE INPUT SHAFT. THEY ARE AN 
IMPORTANT PART OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND MUST BE 
INTACT "

The double locknuts are on the handle side of the 
input shaft. I suspect that the brake pads would 
slip somewhat if the locknuts were out of 
adjustment due to the pads wear over time. This 
could be the cause of the free wheeling some 
mentioned.
