stuck spare tire 91 4x4

Jul 09, 2007 1 Replies

Hey there, I'm just wondering if any of you have a good suggestion as to how to get my spare unstuck. I bought the truck and noticed that the spare was loose, I didn't think anything of it but the other day I went to either tighten it or let it down and it wouldn't move. It seemed pretty basic, is there some mystical trick that I'm missing? My next attempt will be hitting it with the impact but I just wanted to check to make sure I wasn't missing something. BTW I don't have an owners manual.



Thanks,

BE CAREFUL the wheel will drop when you release it. Deflating it can get you more slack. I ended up taking the bolts out on top of the frame to get the winch availble for persuasion. Lots of your favorite penetrant. Good luck & keep us posted.
