For several years the furler has been getting more difficult to turn. I thought I have been diligent about hosing it down after a sailing trip, but evidently not. I remove my headsail for the winter every year and at the end of last season I had to almost turn it by hand to unfurl the sail. Now it feels like the bearings are square when I turn it by hand. (I have not installed the headsail this season) There is no way I can see to flush the bearings. Any simple way to clean things up or is it simply time to have the bearing assembly replaced. I have watched the Shaefer video on changing the bearings, not sure if I am up to that.
