Maxwell RC windlass problem


I had a few problems with the windlass last Fall not doing what I requested. I would select DOWN or UP and I would hear a "click" but no movement unless I physically moved the gypsy back and forth a few times. Today that did not seem to help at all. I had to release the clutch and hand crank the rope and chain up. If you have not done this before (spoiler alert) it can take a few minutes and WEAR YOU OUT.
Since the solenoid is clicking does that mean the motor is not starting? Need new brushes maybe?
Is there a quick way to diagnosis the problem?
What is the fastest way to remove the motor for repair?

Thanks in advance.
