Spanner wrench for Maxwell 22 and 26 winches

Trying to locate one.  One of my 22's will not disassemble without an appropriate spanner wrench.  Anyone know where I can get one?

I'm not sure if my Maxwells are all the same as yours, but they probably are.  I was able to take them all apart using a set of pliers in place of a spanner wrench.  Just open them up stick them in the slots and twist off the top nut or whatever it's called.  If you can't get that to work try calling Maxwell.  They don't make the winches anymore, but they're still in business.

Thanks for the August advice.  Never got that Maxwell 22 apart.  Maxwell had no ideas.  Am looking for a replacement winch, preferable a used 22 or 23.
