Dwight, The first winch may take you a while to gather all the necessary tools and develop your technique. The second one will go much quicker. Truth be told, I haven't cleaned and lubed my 28s properly for at least 5 yrs. They aren't self tailing and I only use them when racing w crew. They didn't look too bad inside after such a long time. It's been 2 seasons since I lubed my 21ST halyard winches and my 27ST winches by the wheel. I find it hard to get much of this maintenance stuff done in the Spring. Too many distractions from other skippers and last minute projects before launch. In the Spring, I focus on the toerail to toerail maintenance and anything above the toerail waits till after launch.
Tools you'll need: The Barient tool to remove the drum retaining nut Set of allen wrenches; 5/16, 1/4", 3/16" Two large flat screw drivers to pry the one plate off Solvent; diesel fuel or kerosene to clean the old grease off Brushes; sash brush or parts brush, old tooth brush, acid brush Rags for wiping Bucket or two to hold solvent and soak parts Cardboard boxes to set your grease and dirty stuff, protects the deck. Winch grease for gears and bearings Machine oil (3-in-1) for the pawls and springs.

I actually have a spare gear case for my Barlow 28's, cleaned, lubed and ready to go. I pull one off the boat, slap in the spare and bring the "dirty" one home for maintenance. It then goes back to replace the other "dirty" one which then becomes the clean spare. The Barlow and Barient 28's are nearly identical. Dennis C.

I recently learned the trick to do the 28's is to remove the drum to remove four allen head screws to remove the whole winch from the base. Brought them home and I work on them where it's warm. Reading the Barient maintenance article on Stu's website I learned ". . . the drum can be used as a holder for the inverted gear housing. Insert the stem of the gear housing into the top of the drum." How sweet is that? It's so nice to have the winches home, in a controlled environment where nothing can get lost overboard.
