The spare in my truck is located under the rear of the bed, held up by the little cable winch. In theory, you put this rod through the hole in the bumper, it fits into the winch shaft, and you gently lower the spare.
In practice, the hole in the bumper does NOT line up with the winch, so the rod will not fit in. I've loosened all the bumper bolts, and raised it as high as possible, but the rod still does not fit. The only way I can get the spare down is to lie on the ground under the truck, and put a wrench on the winch shaft.
Anyone know if the winch mounting is adjustable? Or is there some other trick to get this set up to work?
Thanks in advance.
