As you remove the last lug nut, the tire might slump off of the mount. You may have to hold it in place with one hand to twist off the final nut.

Remove the flat and roll or carry it towards the back of the car. Don't put the flat in the trunk yet. Wait until the car is back down on four tires.

Tires are dirty. 

If you lean the tire against the car, be wary of letting it snag or scrape the bumper as you lower the jack.

Position the spare tire on the bolts. The spare tire will also try to slump off of the mount so you may have to hold it in place with one hand and thread a nut on. 

You also may need to jack the car a little higher to get the spare tire onto the bolts. 

The spare uses the same nuts as the real wheel did. Screw on all of the nuts.
