Necessary Items:
Spare tire
Lug wrench
Jack
Wheel wedges
Flares
Preparation
Turn on your hazard lights and set the flares.
You’re going to need space and want to be visible.
Position your wheel wedges in front of the front tires if a rear tire is flat, or behind the rear tires if a front tire is flat.
You don’t want the car to move while you’re working on it.
Raise the car
Position the jack underneath the car, next to the flat tire.
Raise the jack until the flat tire is just barely off of the ground.
It doesn’t need to be too high.
Remove the hubcap and loosen the lug nuts.
Remove the flat tire and put the spare tire on the exposed lug bolts.
Tighten the lug nuts by hand.
Don’t use the wrench just yet.
Finishing up
Lower the jack and tighten the lug nuts with the wrench.
Replace the hubcap.
Put the equipment and the flat tire away.
