Default Warn synthetic winch

Have installed winches before and they are usually strait forward. Currently I am getting my ass kicked by trying to spool the synth line on my new warn winch. Any ideas would be great. I have checked the YouTube of using a zip tie with no luck.

Omg... it sucked. I think I ended up with a combination of flattening the loop, a piece of wire to pull through and pushing with a flathead screwdriver. I was seriously considering some vaseline or lube.

Just did this Thursday night with my new Zeon 10S. Use a wire clothes hanger, cut off a lot of it but leave enough for it to come through then twist together and use vice grips to pull. It comes right through!
