SFS,
You were right of course, I found that the top ring came off very easy and all of the rest of the winch followed. As I mentioned before, the bolts that I was trying to take out aren't really bolts, they are just the top of the inner shaft.
I got both of them re-greased (oil in the pawls) and back together. Re-assembly was a breeze, there is only one way they can go together, pretty straight forward.
Again, Thank You!
Mike
