| Description of the problem | I had a flat tire. I was trying to use spare tire stored under the car. I was able to lower the spare tire and remove the spare using the hoist but after removing the tire, i tried to retract the cable back holding the spare tire then it got stuck, i was able to turn the lever but the cable would not retract. So i have about 2 feet of cable with 2 x 5 inches of metal, which holds the spare, dangling under the car. I was able to loop the cable and tie it on as piece of metal under the car, but i have to go under the car to this. This is the first and only time i use the spare tire for this car. The shop i brought car to said it was rusted and needs to be replaced. |
