I am looking for some direction on taking apart the Maxwell winches on my 1985 H31. I am interested if anyone has a diagram of how to reassemble them and what grease to use for lubrication.

No that complicated

The winches are not that complicated. Take apart being careful not to drop any parts overboard. I remove the winch and put it in an old bake pan, clean the parts with a soft cloth and reassemble with a light coat of Lewmar winch grease. The bearings should all be in a cage and they cannot get out.
