ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for enabling a user to draw in and raise, and to lower and draw out, a spare wheel that is normally stored under a vehicle. The apparatus includes a chain having a first chain end and a second chain end for securing and manipulating the spare wheel. The apparatus also includes a bracket attached across the mounting hole of the spare wheel, wherein the first chain end and second chain end are attached to the bracket, a winch to control the movements of the chain, the winch positioned at the drawn out position for the spare wheel, a roller positioned at the drawn in position of the spare wheel and an operating handle for attachment to the winch, whereby the user turns the operating handle to control the movements of the winch, and thereby draws in and raises, and alternatively lowers and draws out, the spare wheel that is normally stored under the vehicle.
