Warren99 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The spare tire thing works in my truck, but at some point the cable broke so end of it is just a frayed cable without the retainer thing for the rim. The parts truck I just tore apart had everything, so i unbolted the little mechanism. I could just bolt this one up into mine, but it is incredibly rusty, which brings me here: -How easy/is it possible to take apart the mechanism and swap cables? -Can I just get a new retainer thing to add to my trucks broken cable? If so, how does that work? I can't understand by just looking at the factory one, aside from I'm assuming it's just like a big crimp.

eaglescout526 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 If you drill out the rivets holding the brackets together, it’ll all come apart pretty easy and you’ll see how it’s built. I took a trashed one and adapted the brackets to an S10 winch for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren99 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Eh Idk if I'll drill rivets out for it. Even the rusty one works fine, I just wanted to avoid taking the rust free white one out and throwing in a crusty one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonzoTheGreat Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The inside of it is really not that intimidating. https://comancheclub.com/topic/39369-spare-tire-hoist-repair/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
