David,
Yes I did several years ago when I bought it. I tore it apart to clean and lube everything, but mostly to try and shed as much weight as I could so we could lift it up onto my workbench. The legs of my engine hoist don't fit under the bench and it is one heavy son-of-a-gun.
It's one of those projects that I have just put off for too long. The ratchet slides off of the pinion but now that you mention it, I don't remember if it is keyed or splined to the pinion. I THINK it just keyed though. Will have to look at that again.
