Will The Lippert Spare Tire Winch # LC159056 Fit In Place Of BAL Retract-A-Spare?

Question:

Will the crank handle extension fit through or work with the previously existing handle already attached to my frame. First part was a BAL retract-a spare and it broke. Now looking to replace but hoping I dont have to drill another hole in the from to attach to the crank handle...

Looking at the BAL Retract-A-Spare it has a much different design than the Lippert Spare Tire Winch # LC159056 you found. You may be able to mount the new winch so it will still work on your trailer but as we do not have both the products here with your trailer I can not guarantee you will not need to make any modifications. Please refer to the images below for their mounting dimensions.
