"keep it out of the pauls" (not panels)... Darned spell check on my tablet... I like the idea of a box cut out to set over the top of the winches, but have to admit I've never gone to that extreme, and have not (as of yet!) lost a spring or pawl. That said, I can easily see how it would happen.

I went with the Green Grease. Remember, small amounts of grease, not big globs, and keep it out of the panels, which should be lubed using a light machine oil. I found one made by 3 in 1 that had PTFE (Teflon) in it, and went with that. Take lots of pictures as you disassemble, and you'll be fine.
