Wanted to drop, lube and air up my Envoy's spare tire. First time I ever dropped it, it was stuck. Used my small floor jack to push it up tight to the frame and that did the trick. Last time I tried dropping it, the same thing. This time I started by first driving the dropping mechanism clockwise so it would click through its tension release a couple of times (this is the first thing the owner's manual says to try) and the tire then dropped perfectly. I lubed the locking mechanism anyway.
So for those with a stuck tire, try clockwise first and then see if you get it lowered.
