Disengaging Clutch?
Hello, I have a Lofrans' Progress 2 Windlass (SN PD 002 592) and I cannot get the clutch to disengage when I loosen the nut? Any ideas please?

They can be sticky. Sometimes I need to snub the chain to get them to free up. Once you get the cones free, keep them clean and lubed.

Hi Guy, thanks for the prompt reply, my chain is snubbed, no load on it, so how do I access the cones, do I strip the top off?
