John, here's a cut and paste direct from GM service info:
If the vehicle is equipped with a spare tire stowage lock cylinder, open the spare tire lock cover on the bumper and use the ignition key to remove the lock. Caution: Use only hand tools to lower and raise the spare tire hoist assembly. Do not use air tools. The use of air tools at high speeds will damage the spare tire hoist assembly.
2. Turn the hoist shaft counterclockwise to lower the spare tire to the ground. Continue to turn the hoist shaft until the spare tire can be pulled out from under the vehicle and removed. If the spare tire does not lower to the ground, the secondary latch is engaged causing the tire not to lower. 3. If the secondary latch is engaged and the cable end is visible, perform the following procedure: 3.1. Tighten the cable by turning the hoist shaft clockwise until you hear two clicks or feel it skip twice. You cannot overtighten the cable. 3.2. Loosen the cable by turning the hoist shaft counterclockwise 3 or 4 turns. 3.3. If the spare tire can be lowered, repeat steps 1 and 2 to see if the spare tire can be removed. 3.4. If the spare tire cannot be lowered, turn the hoist shaft counterclockwise until approximately 15 cm (6 in) of cable is exposed. 3.5. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle. 3.6. Place a transmission jack, or equivalent, under the spare tire. 3.7. Position the center of the transmission jack under the secondary latch release button at the center of the spare tire. Arrange the arms of the transmission jack so they will support the tire after it has been released. 3.8. Raise the jack until the spare tire stops moving upward and is firmly held in place, releasing the secondary latch. 3.9. Lower the tire. If the spare tire is hanging by the cable, turn the hoist shaft counterclockwise until the tire is low enough to remove. 4. If the secondary latch is engaged and the cable end is not visible, perform the following procedure: 4.1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle. 4.2. Place a transmission jack, or equivalent, under the spare tire. 4.3. Position the center of the transmission jack under the secondary latch release button at the center of the spare tire. Arrange the arms of the transmission jack so they will support the tire after it has been released. 4.4. Raise the jack until the spare tire stops moving upward and is firmly held in place, releasing the secondary latch.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
