- Use the car's lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts slightly, then jack the vehicle high enough so the tire is off the ground.
- Remove all the lug nuts from the flat tire, pull the flat tire off the car gently.
- Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, lining up the tires bolts, then putting the lug nuts back on those bolts.
- Tighten the nuts until the tire is secure, lower the vehicle, then when the tire touches the ground, tighten those lug nuts all the way.
