Hi I recently had a flat tire and when I went to try to lower the tire the slot where I insert the tire iron to lower and raise the tire is stripped out actually I guess by me forcing it since it was snowing and so cold I think it froze I rounded it out I did mange to get the tire down. Is there anyway to replace that piece? it's just under the lift gate and when I insert my tire iron I can spin it either way which makes the winch lower or raise the tire but since it's rounded out it a real pain, can I just somehow replace that piece in there?

Thank you for any help or direction
