How to Release a Stuck Spare Tire Holder on a Town & Country

The only time you will likely have an issue with a stuck spare tire holder on your Town & Country is when you are sitting on the side of the road with a flat tire. Likely, you do not have a tool chest filled with hammers, liquid rust remover and screwdrivers, so you are left with the common items found in a car to break the tire holder free.

Things You'll Need

  • Palm-sized rock (optional)
  • Place the pointy end of your tire iron against the edge of the holder

  • Tilt and hold the tire iron at a 40-degree angle to the tire while keeping the pointy end of the tire iron pressed against the holder.

  • Strike the socket end of the tire iron with the ball of your fist or a palm-sized rock if you can locate on one the side of the road. Continue to do so until the T-shaped tire holder starts to spin.
