Please can anyone offer a reference to some useful documentation? I don't know how to get started because there are no obvious screws or clips to allow me to get into the winch.

Sorry I can't help you with any information, but can I sugest you post this in the "Other technical issues" http://www.parkerseal.org.uk/bbs/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=13  as this request is not limited to a Seal 28 you may get more replies.

Thanks

I just looked on the Lewmar website, under winches, product information, gives service brochure that seems to cover all types.

Give it a try.

Sadly, page 21 which supposedly deals with the Lewmar 30 doesn't match my winch in that there's no top ring to allow removal of the self-tailing gear so I'm still none the wiser as to how to get started!

Mike: I'll do as you suggest and broaden the scope of my enquiry.

Thanks both for your input.

Richard

Recommendation is to insert a wooden lever in the self-tailer and to unscrew the head, possibly with the aid of a hammer. I understand there's some risk that the self-tailer will fracture in the process :-(

The chap from Lewmar was very helpful and says he'll email me the PDF of the schematic of this winch and also put it on-line.

Thanks to all,

Richard
