Just dip the whole head in some lube.

If your Carlyle is like my Great Neck ratchets, it's not that tough, except for holding the spring on reassembly, which can be done with a small flatblade tip. Pull the torx screw and give it a whirl.
Use blue thread locker and don't overtighten the screw; you'll see what I mean if you do overtighten it.

dipping works on most of them. but some of them are sealed so well, that even soaking them for a week will not let fluid in. not even penetrating oil! i have 3 ratchets like that. 2 of them are Snap On, the other one i can not remember right now. i have not tried tearing them apart. maybe one of these days when i am doing nothing, yeah, right.
