Yes and yes. 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. I’ll take a look at mine and see if I can recall anything else I may have done.

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? Andrew
