Andrew (Andy?), I misspoke. The topping lift and spin halyards on my boat use Barient 23s, not 27s. The part removal issue I had, which appears identical to what you described, was on one of the 23s. I also have a Barient 27 for my main outhaul, Cunningham, and reefing gear. However, I believe Barient made two 27 ST models: the good one, and a cheaper version with a plastic or delrin self-tailing clamp. I have the latter, and the clamp piece was broken when I bought the boat. It took me about two years to get a replacement part from the Australian company. The first one is probably still sitting in a Customs warehouse in California. Whatever happened to the plastic clamp piece must have been violent as the original line lifter had been replaced with a “homemade” stainless one.
I’m afraid I’m not going to be much help resolving your squeak issue. Sorry.

My 27s are original Barient. My boat is a 1976 42 Custom (only six made, mine being the last one). I raced against it when I was kid. The original Baltic 42 was a sistership. Impressive looking boat.

I think the Barient 27s are measured somehow differently than Lewmar; they're roughly equivalent to a Lewmar 40, size-wise. What size boat do you have? Anybody have a good size comparison tool across winch brands?

Thanks Matt! I'll try some penetrating oil and see where it gets me. When you got the lifter arm off were you able to adjust the height so it no longer rubbed against the clamp ring? Or were you able to lubricate it a bit so it didn't squeak?

I eventually got it off, but I can’t recall now how I did it (it was a while ago). Try using some penetrating oil and let it sit before hitting it again.

Hi all - The two Barient 27 primary winches on the Safari were in sorry shape, so last week I decided to service them. After a rather protracted battle I was able to disassemble and clean/oil/grease one of them to my satisfaction, however - when reassembling the first winch I realized that, while definitely smoother internal operations, it still squeaks! I think I've traced it to the line lifter rubbing on the clamp ring (see manual here <http://svsoggypaws.com/files/Winches/Barient%2027%20ST%20Winch%20Service%20Manual.pdf> ). I didn't think I needed to remove the line lifter originally, but after tracing the squeak there I wasn't able to unscrew it (the manual says to tap it with a soft hammer - hitting it rather hard with a soft hammer didn't help either). Does anyone else have these winches on their boat? Anybody else had this problem?
