The jack goes under the rear axle shaft tube halfway between the anti sway bar bracket and the suspension spring. The diagram is in the owner's manual under section 5
Since the spare is mounted under the rear of the car, Its not easy...you have to assemble the long crank rod out of its two pieces, then feed the rod through the hole in the top of the rear bumper and lock it into the mechanism that holds the tire in place. Once the crank rod is locked in, lower the tire towards the ground. Once the tire is low enough, you can crawl under the car and release the tire from its mount. The hardest part is locking the crank rod into the spare tire mechanism through the hole in the bumper.
Never tried it but found this on the internet:
If you have turned the crank to lower the tire and nothing happens STOP. I did this and borke the plastic that covers the coil of wire! Get out another jack and jack up the center of the spare. It has a safety on it that will lock the spare in the event of a cord failure. Jacking up the center of the spare tire will release it. Just make sure your no where near it if it falls off the jack. Good luck I hope this helps. Oh and if this doesn't work right away STOP JACKING IT UP!!!! http://wiki.answers.com/Q/You_are_not_able_to_lower_the_spare_tire_in_your_2003_envoy_slt_The_instructions_do_not_seem_to_help_Suggestions
take your jack handle out from the left rear compartment like 3-4 pieces
join them together
on the right side you will see an acess hole
there is a square end the jack handle fits into then turn the jack handle counter clock wise and the tire will lower
hope this helps
The short answer is look in your owner's manual. If you don't have one, go to www.trailvoy.com and check in the resources section. There should be a link there for 2004 Envoy owner's manual. Be aware that the spare tire winch mechanism should be exercised once in a while to keep it working freely.
