Spare tire hoist

[GirlDad40]

Anyone know how to get the spare tire hoist to go back up? I was able to turn it and get it all the way down, now it's just spinning clockwise and not pulling the cable back up.

Try putting tension on the cable while turning it.

Will try. Thank you so much.

A couple years ago I had to remove, dismantle, clean, lube, and reassemble my 2nd gen hoist to fix it. I also painted the housing while off, rustoleum brush on enamel. More details here:

Spare Tire Hoist Failure

Had a flat tire today, went to lower the spare tire, and the hoist made it 1/2 foot down then started making a clicking noise and wouldn't go any further up or down. I managed to get the tire off but now the hoist needs fixed. Anyone have any insight on what fails on these, and is it as simple...
