How do you lower the spare tire on a 2007 GMC Sierra?

Alternatively, you can manually release your spare tire from its storage location. To do this, locate the Manual Tire Release Lever, which you can find on the underside of your vehicle (near the rear bumper). Insert a flathead screwdriver or similar tool. Finally, you’ll need to disconnect a few wiring harnesses and pull out the spare tire carrier.

Another possibility is that the lug nuts may be too tight. Depending on the size of the spare tire, you may need to loosen the lug nuts using a wrench to remove them. Finally, something blocking the wheel well may prevent the spare tire from coming off. If that’s the case, you’ll need to take the spare out by removing whatever’s blocking the wheel well.
