Chrysler Plymouth Voyager 1990

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
