Spare tyre winch Chain came off

[tpol]

Hi, I tried a search but couldnt really find it besides people modifying the design.

Anyway, had 2 flat tyres (screws) and unwinched the spare tyre down.

However, went too far and the chain came off.

I cant see to hook the chain back on and winch up the spare.

Does anyone have any suggestions or point me to the right threads.

Thanks

You must have really unwound it hard......but the chain is attached to the top of the square box..

You will need to unscrew this box and reattach the chain....from memory it is a bitch to get at one of the bolts, but still doable.

Once you get it off, all will be revealed !

Thanks Greig, I will give it a whirl.

Or take it to the dealer and get them to fix it. It should not happen!

I was lucky and noticed the top end of the chain hanging loose. I now have a bolt through the chain to stop it winding through. Not sure where/how the chain was originally attached to prevent the problem.
