Spare tire winch not working :(

Spare tire winch not working
I had not spare tire and now when I wanted to get it down I turn and turn but it does not go down.
I pulled and nothing.
What should I do?
Is there anything I can do? 91 BMW 850CSI

Get a helper, and pull down on the cable while you unscrew it. If that does not work, you may be able to take yours apart and unjam the cable.

If none of these work, then its a new winch

I had the similar problem, once you remove the winch drill out the 4 rivets and take it appart rewind the wire and rebuild and pop rivet back together again remember to grease it up, if not repairable e-bay approx £90.

As mse has said once you find the fault rewind back on the spool and use large flange pop rivets to secure the top hat remember to insert the rivets with flat upwards
