How does one dis-assemble this winch without the Barlow dis-assemble winch handle? I'm guessing it must be a hollow square tube with a handle to hold the drum stationary while the cap screw is removed. Winch hasn't been apart since 1979 - cap screw feels pretty tight. Any suggestions without the handle?

You should be able to insert a blade screwdriver in the teeth to keep the winch from turning while loosening the cap screw. Worked for me.
