You're supposed to take the vehicles to the dealership every 6 months and pay them to lift it to spray WD40 on the spare tire hold mechanisms- this is job security for the mechanics. On a more serious note- the 6 month underneath service used to be a standard for rental fleets- spare tire mechanism if they had them outside was lubed. Hertz Ford trucks had external transmission filters and drain plugs on tranny pan like my DJ5 and early Chev powerglides- a oil change at 20,000 miles or so got the tranny oil drained from pan and external filter changed, the main band retorque done again from external torque wrenching. An hour service undeneath and less chance of breakdown on road. In your case - from now on when you do oil change, spray the spare tire hold mechanism. RN
