99 1500 spare tire winch adapter
My apologies if this question has been asked and answered. I need to replace my spare tire winch and the adapter. I can't locate, in the service manual, the removal and replacement procedure. The winch is easy, but I haven't been under the truck to check out the adapter. Can anyone help?

Tool kit has the tube and the ratchet to operate the winch, (bottom part and fourth from bottom at the pic):
But, the adapter. I was looking the pictures at the Rockauto catalog, and noticed that winch has a round axle, whereas tube has hex end. So I think there should be the adapter that OP is talking about. And that adapter is either bolted to the winch axle, or there's a roll pin.

I don't think I ever dropped the spare out of my '94, '97 or '01 Rams. My '03 used the same set up as my Escalade and C2500. In the photo, you see the hexagonal tool with a lug socket on one end. The handle slides over the shaft of it and flips to either raise or lower the spare. It has UP and DOWN stamped on it.

Took me a while to find the correct picture (though this is for a later model truck, but the principle is the same), but this shows the parts and how the tube is connected. With the cotter pin like MoparFanatic21 said. And that tube is easy enough to make myself that I won't bother to look it from ebay, gets rather expensive after shipping and taxes and stuff.
