Tire wench won't work - alternatives?

I have a 2000 landcruiser with a flat tire in the rear. I have tried
to lower the spare with the wench by turning it counterclockwise for
over 10 mins and the tire didn't budge. Does anyone know of an
alternative way to get it loose? I sprayed with WD40 but still no
luck.

Thanks!

Flog her more!

Try Oil of Olay, if that fails ... divorce her!

Turn it clockwise?

Most women are inherently counterclock wise!

Are you sure the jack handle is engaged in the winch? Do you have to push in
while turning it?

WD40 is not a penetrant --- WD=water displacement. Try Liquid Wrench or
Knocker Loose. Spray few days then try.

Well gosh, you may know what WD stands for, but I think the company
knows more about the uses of WD40. From their web site:

'With literally thousands of uses, WD-40 is the #1 multi-purpose
problem solver. It cleans, protects, penetrates, lubricates and
displaces moisture like no other product on earth.

Call your Toyota dealer and ask them.

WD-40 is made of mostly Kerosene and Stoddard Solvent, with a few
other aromatic hydrocarbons thrown in. The Kerosene does act as a
lubricant for a short period of time, but it's not a really good
lubricant and it evaporates away rather quickly.

Real lubricants tend to stay around a while and keep lubricating for
several weeks or months, but WD-40 does not.

But WD-40's one big saving grace is it's the bee's knees for drying
out a wet ignition system in a hurry. For that one reason, it's a
good thing to have a can in the car all the time - but carry a can of
spray lithium grease too, for things that need long term lubrication.

PB Blaster is a far, far more effective penetrator.

But hey, if the advertising says so, it must be true!

Maybe the OP needs "Liquid Wench"? If the wench won't put out, perhaps
a better penetrator is needed! <G>

Get under there and take a good look. Be sure the *wrench* is
actually engaging the part that lowers the tire.

On my '95, the guides do a good job of getting the rod to the receptacle and
it's pretty easy to tell that I'm turning the thingie that lowers the tire.
Are you sure you are engaging the thingie? :-)
