blt2ski will become famous soon enough
I have one lewmar, and that thru me for a loop, vs the barbarosa, Now harken winches I have. The lewmars have a c-clip as mentioned on the top that holds the body on. Harken has a bolt on the inside bottom of where the winch handle goes. Reverse thread too IIRC. but do not quote me!

Otherwise, the how to grease is about the same, replacing palls and springs are similar too. Are you located anywhere near Seattle? My YC is doing in conjunction with local WM a winch maintenance class with a lewmar rep in may.
