[C320-list] Winch De-Greaser

[Allan S. Field]

The Lewmar winch service manual recommends a paraffin bath (or white
spirit).  Mineral oil is liquid paraffin which is what I have used with
success for years.  I pour the mineral oil into a plastic bucket and use an
old tooth brush to clean the soaking parts.

I use 115/145 avgas. It really cuts the grease and evaporates quickly.  
The only problem it is hard find.
