We've all been there.... Lower your tail gate and look for a hole. You should have a long metal rod with your jack/lug wrench. Stick it in the hole and start un cranking. The tire will lower.

if you don't have the lowering tool... get a can of wd40 and a crow bar. I sprayed wd all over it it then put the crow bar through the slot and slammed a small sludge on it, it will get loose.
