Spare Wheel Carrier L2 H3 Van

[Andylink]

My van was recalled a few years ago to fit the new style wind down carrier. I have never used it but it’s jammed, any tips to get it to move would be appreciated.

In the handbook it says to turn the mechanism bolt anti clockwise to wind the wheel/cable down. If it will not move then maybe it has seized up through lack of use. You could try spraying with something like wd40.
