I'm trying to drop the spare on my 2013 PPV. I can't get the square drive on the jack rod to engage the hoist to do it. Any advice to bump it into place?

I was able to get a small enough bright light to shine down the tube and could see half the square drive lug.I’m going to assume that you are putting the correct end in and not the wrong end.
Is the guide tube in place between the bunker and the hoist? Any way to shine a flash light in the hole while still seeing if there is anything in the way?
Good to hear!I was able to get a small enough bright light to shine down the tube and could see half the square drive lug.
then squirmed in enough to see the problem. Reaching it was another matter. All is corrected now.

Good advice. I always do this on my trucks. The last thing you want is to find out its rusted shut on the side of the road.Good to hear!
Once you get the spare lowered, clean up and lubricate l the hook/security latch mechanism so it will work when you need it to release along side the road.
