you literally don't show the most important part which is assembling the rod to remove the rear tire most people have done this before have no freaking idea how to do that

Real talk, this video personally helped me out today when I had a blowout, never knew about the fun spare tire stuff on my s10. Either way thank you!

I seen 20 or 30 videos on how to get my spare tire out of my GMC so I get it but your explanation is the one I needed to hear because it was very unique just a little common sense is all I wanted thank you

I've watched 'several' other videos but this one showed me exactly why pushing on the latch side with the tire iron works........and it does! Finally got mine down after hours of frustration. The only thing I liked better from the other videos was using a ratchet strap around the tire and cross members instead of the crappy bottle jack.

Thank you so much for mentioning the tool end to use. I was about to lose my mind trying to get that fool tire off

Thank you for that. this is exactly what’s happening to My suburban I’m so happy you put this video on KZread you were very explicit with your details.

I can see that is will be a bad news situation out in the boonies. I will remove my tire and stored it in the bed

Sounds like I need a degree in Astrophysics to attain my spare.

Or you just need to use your brain

I'm a service truck driver for a certain motor club, one of my first few calls I went on was a tire change for a Silverado. This call took me THREE HOURS, because I had no idea about GM and their damn locking system.

July 6th, 2018 .. This just Helped out lots. Thank you very much!

Gave up after an hour and half. Will now use fix a flat foam spray to get me to the shop so I never have to mess with this spare again brilliant design chevy

Thank you so much I've been battling that for so long trying to figure out how to get that off

Thanks, could have not removed my 2003 Express spare with out your sharing of the knowledge. I did need to spray a little penetrating oil on that latch with the boot removed and two jacks holding the tire up. Then hit the end of the screw driver with a hammer and wallah!

you did great with this video,.. I'm going to make one too,... it's messed up deal,...! Imagine, it's snowing you hit a curb, got a flat,... tire won't come down,...?????

Bo I hope this helps me this weekend get this rusted mechanism off. New one ready to put on with new bag of irons that were missing from my truck.

Thanks for posting.

🤯 I just got a 2010 Savana and stumbled on this while searching for the nutwrench/jack location..I guess I better practice before I have to do this

Was gonna cut it outta ther til wife found this vid. Thanx. Lol

Still not understanding why GM made this so difficult. Glad I found this before I decided to put my spare on. I have a tire with a chunk of metal in it (thankfully under warranty) that keeps losing air. Just waiting for my appointment to get it warrantied (thank you COVID) NOT.

I'm never putting my spare under there again. Bull$hit engineering. I love Chevy...but this is wrong! My tire now stays in the truck bed unfortunately

Can't risk a law suit from a spare tire injuring or killing somebody. This why they make it the way it is. You'll be fine. Put your big boy shoes on 🤦😂

Super helpful, thanks, Bob! NMT Outdoors has a very helpful video as well, but I think your explanation and great video of the "wrong side" and the "hook side" of the secondary latch works a little better for me. Also seems like chicken soup (can't hurt, might help) to let some penetrant (PB Blaster) soak into the latch first. We'll see after I calm down enough to have another go at my 2013 Chevy Tahoe spare. Thanks!

so what you're saying is my spare tire is never coming down. For the first time in my life I hate Chevy!

Ive always loved Chevy but damn if they been the biggest pieces of crap I've had. Except for my 79 Scottsdale. Super reliable, never broke down for the 1 year I drove it. I never changed the oil in cuz I was adding a court every week or 2. Had a 86 camaro iroc and only was able to drive it 4 times then it quit running. Had problems with the motor and tons if electrical problems. Had a 350 in it and it couldn't spin tires. Had a 98 camaro that was garbage. Paid 4gs for it with 98k mikes on it. Had electrical problems too. Top wouldn't go down half the time along with windows not rolling down and and radio would go out. Over heating problem, had clay like stuff in the radiator probably from someone adding coolant besides dexcool. Had chrome rims that caused tires to be flat every morning. Sold it for 300 5 months after I bought it and the driveshaft fell out of car. Bought a 1990 Silverado for 1000 drove it twice then head gasket blew. Just bought a 2oo2 suburban and its somehow going threw 3 quarts of oil a month and its not leaking. Ac system has been worked on several times and it quit blowing cold again. Window motors have gone out in the back. And I just bought the suburban 6 weeks ago. Had a 1992 ranger drove it for a year and all I had to do was replacing time belt at 180000 miles. And replaced exhaust manifold, right after it was replaced it went out again probably because the mechanic bought a used 1 but idk. Had a 2001 jeep grand Cherokee inline 6 with 236000 drove for year and a half. No problems with it until 6 Months later overdrive quit working half the time and then other gears didn't want to shift. Was either tranny going bad or solonoid. Was still able to drive for over a year after that. With it going bad I drove it from nc to GA in the mountains. Cant beat a jeep Cherokee 4wd with inline. Just go ahead and replace the radiator and water pump before they go bad. Also keep a eye on the coolant level. They are known for head gaskets going if overheated. That inline 6 has a lot of power. I pulled out a 80s suburban that was stucjin the mud and I barely touch the gas. I raced a 89 f150 with a v8 with hooker headers and 33 inch mud terrains and smoked his ass

Why do they make it so confusing. What happen to just leaving the tire in the trunk casing than do all this

If that spare tire flew off on a freeway or any street and injured or killed someone. Big bucks they gotta pay out. Rather be safe then sorry.

Thanks bro. 👍😀

Thank you!!!!!

I purchased my Chevy third hand and my rod was missing a segment. Ensure your rod has all 4 rods including the tire iron, or else youll need to saw the plastic "feeder" tube off, as I had.

I hope this works. I'm about to go help a friend remove his spare on his Denali on this balmy -27 C day ;)

@@pdpete4807 Anytime, you've been a mentor through out my life. Approaching 75, I would not let you do this yourself. You've always been there for me; it was the least I could do. Lastly, 32 years ago, I knew nothing about vehicle maintenance. I have you to thank for introducing me to tools and showing me how things are to be done. You are my friend ;)

So, in other words, the spare is permanently attached to the truck. I feel like such a fool for buying yet another GM product. This is the last one. I'm so done.

Mod #1 - get the spare tire lowered and off the cable. Then take a grinder and cut the safety latch off.

Thanks bro

My tire dropped down automatically using jack handles, how do I get the tire off the cable after it's on the ground? It dropped easily.

GM Update: Lower tire as low as it will go. Take your bolt cutters and cut the F%cking wire that holds it and never use this system again. Buy a nice tire cover and place the spare in the cargo area and never use this stupid system again. I speak from experience.

Imagine doing this on side of road in dead of winter!!

Man you jump around so much I can’t tell what the hell is going on

Kind of looks like we're going to need lots of luck...

Where is the rod tool located? Thx

Under the rear seat. The rear seat on a 2004 folds up.

so most peopl are screwed, call roadsid assistance to change it lol pull off the dangerous highway though

"nice and easy"

I cut that cheap rusted shit and put my spare in the bed. I travel too much for this GMC madness. Awesome video though

So how is this accomplished with the tire nice and snug in there? Looks easy enough... with NO TIRE on!

Why don't you show how to release that latch with the tire on the hanger

Bob, the 4th stooge. You might as well have the left the video blank. Nice job???

What kind of car not Brand

GM what was they thinking about

Not supposed to work like that

Nope!!! Welded two pieces of all thread and a bar to go across the tire like the old time tire holders

Wow! That's the "easy" method eh?!

Shows how the mechanism works without showing how to actually remove the tire. This video was not helpful in the slightest.

Crap vid. You can’t fit that thing in the hole. You need to show how rods go in the hole

Waste of video you’re not showing anything informative
