Spare Wheel Winch Guidance

Hi

When i received my car i immediately removed spare wheel while i ordered a RLD protector.

That is arriving today so i can put it back under.

Ive been reading on here about the winch and using it.

I wound the winch back up with no weight on it. Whats the best way of getting it down again now without it jamming?

Thanks

You need someone to pull the cable down while you unwind it. Do not just unwind or the whole thing will jam. I ended getting out LR assistance.

I use a bungy strap and have a rope attached around a bollard to keep it tight against the wire.

Keep the bungy tight and it should be OK, just be careful as it may have already wound itself in a mess.
