By far this is one of the simplest ways to remove the spare tire on a Chevy or GMC.

Omg man Thank you for the video. I fought with this shit for about 2 hours last night11pm) and I could not get it. Woke up this morning and tried a few times and still nothing. Then I came across your video. Saved the day man much appreciated!

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

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.

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 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.

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!

@patmeyer8287 6 жыл бұрын

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!

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

@@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.

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.
