  • underslung spare issue

    I have the underslung spare wheel , I have the tools from the back seat and the tool wrap and I put the long hook throught the rear bumper and into a slot on the mech , It was seized up but i greased it and now it turns but it does not lower or raise the wheel , the section that the hook enters turns but the arm connected to the lowering mech doesn't , Is this a common problem ???

    only had my spare down once and the tyre fitter dude did it, but i'm pretty sure the tyre came down on a cable only, the part that dont move in the pic didnt move on mine, it just lowered on a cable, and yes it was a pain to do for him also.
    hope this helps

            You can disconnect the rod that isn't moving by removing the R clip. Then wedge a socket on the end of it and turn it with your ratchet.
