Above-the-Fold 15 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I'm trying to replace/fix the stripper rings on my Barient winches. To do that I need to get the jaws apart. The manuals I find seem to suggest an Allen key to get the winch off its mounting, but also seem to say some sort of special tool is required to get the jaws apart afterwards. The name of the tool is usually something like :"Barient special winch tool," which is no help at all. Does anyone have such a tool or know where it can be found? Or even better, a workaround? My winches are 24-45s and 21-33s. regards MS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Screwball 5 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Hutton-Arco in Australia is probably your best bet for anything Barient. https://www.arco-winches.com 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Above-the-Fold 15 Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 HA very helpful. Stripper rings should arrive today and their guy said there's no need for the “special Barient tool” on my winches — just take out three screws. So all good. M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
