What are the options? I suppose I could cut the end of the cable, but will it run back up through the other latch?

is there a key spot or two to squirt some penetrant into?

I don’t “need” it down right this minute. Original 10 year old spare. Was going to get it replaced with a new one that matched the other KO2 tires on the ground.

Tightening it back until the double clicks worked. I really had to lean into it to get them, but it worked like a champ after.

now it has a crap load of oil soaking in.
Like I said, it’s a wonderful design on GM’s part. Imagine being on the side of the road at night trying to fight that damn thing.

I had a feeling it might cause grief, but it still surprised me how it did. That’s why I wanted to do it in the garage. Lol.

I too did this in my garage as preventative maintenance rather than on the side of the road in the rain or slush in my Sunday church clothes.

Is the secondary latch only on the NNBS and up? I don’t think my 02 has it and there isn’t a spare or spare tire mech on my 08 Silverado for some reason.;)

So it does have a problem then?
:shrug: I don't know I am sure it does but maybe I am crazy, there going to put in a billet torque converter and do some work to the valve body and go thru all the clutches and see where the wear is I told him I want it sufficient for another 100hp which is what a super charger should give me.
