Review on Dorman 924 525 Spare Tire Hoist by Christopher Clearfield

I installed this part on a 2008 Toyota Sienna LE and it (barely) fits and does the job but there is a flaw in this part that can leave you stuck if you don't use it have necessary tools for working with the mechanism. This lift is controlled by a hex head that you turn from the cabin, on the floor, just behind the passenger seat, and you have to open the right sliding door to access it. The rug has a special "U" shaped flap that you lift to access the hex head in question. If you follow the owner's manual instructions for changing a flat tire, you'll find that you have to use an auto socket wrench (makes sense, right?) to turn that hex head, and this method works great with an OEM jack . NOT WITH THIS PART! The OEM socket (21mm) is too small for the hex head, the hex on this part is 23mm or 7/8" but you are better off getting a cheap socket and ratchet wrench in the right one size or have an adjustable wrench with you.
