- Move the vehicle to a flat location, place safety flares or triangles if on the highway.
- Slightly loosen each lug nut before using he car jack.
- Jack up the car until the tire is off the ground, then remove all the lugs.
- Pull off the flat tire and set it safely off to the side.
- Grab your spare tire and place it on the wheel bolts. If the car is too low, jack it up slightly higher.
- Hand tighten the lug nuts, then one turn with the wrench, then lower down the car.
- Once the car is off the jack, use the wrench to tighten all the lugs in the appropriate sequence.
- Only drive on the spare a short distance.
