The jack should be placed on the raised section of the side rail near the tire being replaced. Below are the steps for using a jack to remove a tire: 1. For this raised section, which is usually two-layered, engage the grooved end of the jack with it. Before lifting, it's best to loosen the nuts of the tire to be removed by one turn before raising the jack; 2. Replacing the spare tire: Loosen the wheel hub nuts but do not remove them, place the jack under the car at the corresponding position, and use the lever to turn the jack's bearing to lift the car; 3. Remove the wheel hub nuts, install the spare tire, tighten the nuts, finally lower the car to the ground, remove the jack, and fully tighten the nuts.
