    I have a 1990 Plymouth Voyager and tried to get the spare wheel (Tire) down
    from underneath the other day to check things out. Have unwound the cable
    from inside the vehicle - as instructed - the wheel drops so far and then
    hangs, I cannot get it to go the the floor as required. Is there something
    else I should be doing? - Beside buying a new vehicle! I just can't see
    what is stopping it from coming right down ..... Help!! :-(

    Could be rust. It is a mess under there. Try WD-40 inside and outside
    and do alot of jiggling and tugging. The wire assembly on my 86
    actually rusted totally away. I kept the spare on the floor jammed
    under the third seat.
    If you need to use the spare, you might be able to work the hub (at
    the end of the wire) off the wheel. As I recall, that retainer was
    shaped such that it could be slipped out of the center hole in the
    wheel. Of course you have to hold the wheel in the air to do that!
    Tough to do, given the location.
    Good luck.

    Thanks for that. Will give it a try. The same thing happened on my 86
    Plymouth also - went to change the spare and found it was missing - the wire
    had rusted away and snapped. This wire seems to be OK because it is
    actually unwinding right out it's just that the damn tire is hanging. Will
    try again
    Thanks
    Regards
