The jack needs to be put in place so it lifts your vehicle via the metal frame near the flat tire. Once you’ve got the jack set, raise your vehicle so the flat tire is about 6 inches off the ground.
Go back to those loosened lug nuts and get them unscrewed and taken all the way off (make sure you don’t lose them).
This sucker is heavier than it looks, so make sure to squat down to get a good grip and pull it toward you and off your car. Use your legs, and not your back.
Again, this sucker is heavy, so remember to lift with your legs. Slide the spare in place (just do the opposite of what you did to pull the flat off). Make sure it’s on all the way.
You didn’t misplace those lug nuts, did you? Good, because now is the time to screw them back on. Get them as tight as you can with your hand.
Using the jack, lower your vehicle slowly so it’s touching the ground, but not fully on the ground. Grab that lug wrench and give the lug nuts another go to make sure they are on good and tight.
Use the jack again to lower your vehicle the rest of the way so it’s fully on the ground.
Boom! You’re done. Throw the flat tire, the jack, and the lug wrench back into their hidey hole. If you’ve got a tire pressure gauge, check the pressure on the spare. Drive carefully until you can get to a tire professional (don’t forget spares aren’t meant for high speeds or long distances).
There it is, Boss Babe. You just changed your own tire in 30 minutes or less. No man needed!
