1997 Voyager can't get the spare down?

Question

The cable will pay out and the spare hangs on the T-bar that secures it to the car. I accessed the nut under the carpet and cranked it with the lug wrench. That extended the cable under the vehicle about 2 feet but did not lower the spare more than a few inches.The spare hangs down about 5 inches but it won't slide down the cable any farther. The cable is payed out about 2 feet beyond the T-bar. I can retract and pay out the cable but the T-bar will not slide down the cable any farther. There isn't enough slack to turn the T-bar and slide it through the spare. I have yanked on it as hard as I can. help!

It went in, it's gotta come out.????

Answer 2

Cut the cable -

it must be snagged or rusted beyond repair
