Its easy!

Place blocks under rear tires/parking brake on

-Get the tire down if it isn't already

-take the "guide tube" off. You MAY have to "jimmy" it a bit. Mine slid right off

-Loosen the two bolts on the underside of the winch. I think they are 9/16th or 16mm something like that. Use a socket with extensions

-Slide the winch out! Done!

Replace is reverse the steps.

If the spare tire is jammed in the up position, you can

a) take off the bed (major PIA) or b) somehow cut the cable or the little bracket that holds the tire.

Good luck
