Hello CAFCNA members!
Yesterday, I had to drop the spare wheel to make room for other repairs.
Upon attempting to raise the spare back into place, it feels like the cable is getting jammed and it won't raise completely.
I tried raising and lowering it many times. Same thing.
I then let all the cable out, and then reeled it back in without the wheel. It reeled in smoothly.
So then I let some cable back out again, hooked up the spare again, and tried raising it back into place.
The problem came back (Cable jams, and the winch would click or 'freewheel' and would stop reeling any further).
What could be wrong with it?
It was late and I had just got done replacing popped brake lines on the rear axle, and was in no mood to investigate the matter any further.
Thanks folks for any ideas you may have!
