Thanks so much! We have a 2008 envoy and couldn't for the life of us figure out why we couldn't get the tire back up. This video showed us the missing puzzle piece. Thanks again!!

Something in your safety mechanism is either seized up, gunked up, or rusted up. The weight of the wheel is supposed to disengage the safety latch, so by ratcheting the tire up, you are preventing it from working correctly. I had the same problem on my Trailblazer and had to thoroughly clean and lubricate the safety latch until it moved in and out easily. You can test it by pulling down on the assembly with your hands. When the latch pivots in, you'll know it's working correctly again.

no tool. does an extension for a socket wrench work?

They should’ve put the tire on the inside with the floor lowered, like in an HHR.

How to actually take the tire through the string. My only problem is taking the tire from the string.

And if that latch is rusted, you're screwed
