I use spray lithium grease on my Barient 10ST winches. It penetrates better than a brush and lasts a long time (and is less messy). There are many brands, including WD-40. I missed the original post, and I imagine from one reply that the original poster is in Australia. Lewmar, with many retailers around the world, including Oz, owns Barient. I buy my Barient repair kits from Lewmar dealers. Ed

A small terry hand towel laid on deck is great to hold dirty parts and keep them from sliding around. Another trick is to cut a hole in a shallow cardboard box ( w 4" high sides) so it can be placed over the winch, to catch parts. I find cardboard boxes for projects like this really save the deck too. On windy days, you have to take other precautions though. Mineral spirits or diesel fuel or Kerosene are good solvents for cleaning the grease from winches. Stu's website has the entire Barient Catologue as well as cleanng procedures, and the detailed drawings that help a great deal. All downloadable. I find after a good cleaning, and drying, oil the pawls and springs w 3 in 1 Oil and grease the gears using a small acid brush, sparingly according to instructions. Next year, you can probably skip the heavy cleaning, just oil the pawls, and add a little grease using the acid brush. I keep a tube of grease, a bottle of 3 in 1 oil, small acid brushes and maybe a plastic scraper in a ziplock sandwich bag, marked w sharpie, WINCHES, w my spare parts.

The only tricky bit is in not losing the pawls or springs. A cloth fastened between the toe rail and lifeline may help.
