I'll be curious if anyone has any great ideas as well. In my experience, winches that have clutch levers hidden inside the works are impossible to free up without taking the whole thing apart. It's too easy to break something by forcing it.

I wonder if it would be possible to fill the whole housing with oil or even with ATF, in order to unstick whatever is rusted. It might run out of the shaft bearing and make a mess, but if you could get it full to the top even for a minute, to let the oil penetrate things, that might do the trick. If it would stay in for a while, all the better.
