- Pretty much all chevy spare tire hoists are like this. Most other vehicles will have a similar design. It's not the cable that freezes. The spare tire anchor has a safety latch that freezes in place. The tire will come down a few inches then stop. Keep turning the handle and the cable will come down but not the tire.
Do not spray them with lube until you manage to get them down! Lube will only gum up the rust. Keep it dry so you can shake and scrape away the rust. Once it's down and you can work it back and forth... THAT'S when you want to spray it!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! This is the go-to video for this latch issue. After years dealing with this thing, I watched the video, did exactly what you said, boom, tire is down and out..10-15 minutes.
I cut mine out with a zip wheel the T bracket thing that goes through the tire wheel dropped and i installed a new hoist they don’t cost much and they don’t have that hook thing.
Why people can't just get straight to the point
Safety latch….dumbest device ever!!
