Scott Hughes demonstrates how to place your standard jack under the back tire in the front. Then remove the locking nugget then use jack to remove the rest of the bolts. (some times the bolts are on very tight, try using your weight by stepping on the tool and it will take less strength)
However his jack didn't fit the bolts. Odd for this to occur. Luckily Scott is at home when his flat occurred, he was able to retrieve some tools from the garage that fit the lug nuggets.
Make sure the jack is placed under neath the notch made for it's fit perfectly. Place car in park and apply brake if its a automatic. If you have a standard as Scott does, place the brake on and pop gear into reverse. Car needs to be off. Loosen all bolts while tire is still on floor. Then raise the car with jack (lifting up directions are always labled with a photo on your device) and then remove the bolts and wiggle tire back and fourth and it will come off. (never ever lay under neath the car once you have raised it off floor with jack!! Many deaths and amputations occur due to the jack being placed in the wrong area of car and the car falls on top of the person)
Then place your spare donut on. You can only drive 50 mph and up to 50 miles on a donut before it can cause an accident or another flat to a blow out.
Once you wiggle the donut on to the car. Place the bolts on by hand and tighten them BY HAND ONLY!! then lower the jack so car is back on floor. Then DON'T forget to tighten the bolts with the tools provided.

Scott Hughes was successful changing his flat tire. However, he would like to suggest when buying a new car, ask them where your jack is stored and then remove the kit from package and see if your tools fit the lug nuggets. You don't want to be left stranded if yours does not fit. As you witnessed, this can happen.
