I have completely lowered the jack and folded the handle but cannot get the jack back inside the plastic case attached to the spare wheel well. Is there a picture of how it fits in?
SOURCE: hoist to lower spare tire does not work.
On my 95' Silverado I always had to get up under the Rear end and Kick the Spare to release it for Lowering. Give this a Try.

I have a '02 TrailBlazer and I had the same problem. When I got a flat and went to change the tire on the side of the road I was not able to get the tire off the winch. Luckly, I have AAA and the driver knew the trick to getting the tire free. The process involved lowering the tire as far as it would go and then kicking it. Wind back up and repeat until the winch free's itself.
When I took the car into the shop to get the tire fixed and the have the spare put back on the car, they were not able to get the winch free enough to put the tire back on. They said that is is a common problem with this mechanism and suggested replacing the winch system (estmated parts and labor $215). From what I can tell the winch accumulates rust up in the cable and locks up.
SOURCE: Where can you get the tool that will lower the spare tire?
dealer for the tool but it must be on vehicle like under the spare wheel or drivers seat
