Replace the hoist assembly with a good used one from a parts cars in a wrecking yard.
On the C5 Corvette, there is no spare tire. The closest you can get to a spare tire is on the C5 Z06 models. They had an option that included a 12-volt air pump and a can of Fix-A-Flat.
That cannot be done. If broken, the tire is useless.
Hi, The spare tire is underneath the rear of your Pacifica. However, to lower it, you will have to open the back hatch and open the floor compartment. In the middle of the compartment you will see a place where you have to fit the lug wrench onto. Then after it is fitted on, you will have to keep spinning the lug wrench to the left until the spare tire is lowered onto the ground. Then you will have to release the cable that lowered the spare tire down from the vehicle. Next, take the flat tire off and install the spare tire. Then take your flat tire to the nearest decent tire store or car garage and have them either fix the flat, or replace the tire if it is ruined. Then after you get the tire back, take the spare off and put the good tire back on again. Happy Traveling!
Surprise! No spare tire! Some Chevrolet Traverse models do not come with a spare tire... yes this is true! You get a can of "fix a flat" goop instead. This won't do you much good if you hit a road hazard that severely damages the tire and could leave you and your family stranded in a remote area on a cold winter night or in a dangerous neighborhood, like a sitting duck, waiting for help. Cars that do have a spare use the "donut" type spare. The spare is under the back of the vehicle and is lowered via a cable mechanism from inside the car. There is a plastic heat shield wrapped around the spare so it doesn't get damaged from the very close proximity to the hot exhaust system. The full size flat tire will not fit in the spare tire compartment so must be carried inside the vehicle. A cable is provided to secure the flat tire inside the vehicle for safety reasons. Not GM's finest hour. They still don't get it!
The 2001 Corvette does not come with a traditional spare tire. Instead, it is equipped with a tire repair kit and an inflator, which are designed to fix minor tire punctures. This design choice is made to save weight and space, given the Corvette's performance-oriented focus. If you need a spare tire, you would have to purchase one separately, but it may not fit in the designated storage areas.
It is cheaper to carry "fix-a-flat", rather than a spare.... Could help? Check your tire pressure, make sure they are where they should be.... Get a K&N air filter, use fix a flat instead of a spare, and check your tire pressures for starts?
To fix the spare tire carrier on a Lexus RX330, first, inspect the carrier for any visible damage or rust. If the carrier is misaligned or stuck, try lubricating the mechanism with a penetrating oil. If the issue persists, you may need to remove the carrier assembly and check for broken parts, replacing them as necessary. Reassemble and ensure it operates smoothly before securing the spare tire back in place.
To reset it simply check the air in the tires (check the spare also as some vehicles will pop the low tire light when the spare is low) and fill to the proper pressure. If that does not fix it then one of the tire sensors is probably bad.
To fix a flat tire, you will need a spare tire, lug wrench, jack, tire iron, tire pressure gauge, and possibly a tire patch kit or portable air compressor depending on the cause of the flat. You may also want to have gloves and a flashlight on hand for better visibility and grip.
Siennas don't have any room for a spare. Toyota provides run-flat tires and low-pressure warning systems instead. Theoretically this gives you 50 miles to drive to the nearest dealer/tire shop/whatever to fix or replace.
To fix a flat bicycle tire quickly and efficiently, follow these steps: Remove the wheel from the bike. Use tire levers to take off the tire from the rim. Inspect the tire and tube for the cause of the flat. Patch or replace the tube if necessary. Put the tire back on the rim and inflate to the recommended pressure. Reattach the wheel to the bike. Remember to carry a spare tube, tire levers, and a pump with you for quick fixes on the go.
