couple'a things missed.
1) get a rock and chock the wheel that's on the opposite corner of the car from where the flat is. Fail to do this and the car could roll forward, come off the jack, and if the wheel's already off you could do some good damage to the brakes, hub, or suspension.
2) Put the spare on a NON DRIVE wheel. This is extremely important. Failure to do this can screw up your differential. On a front wheel drive car, that means the spare goes on the rear, so if you have a flat on the front tire you need to jack that side up, put the spare on, then jack up the back, take the good tire off, put the bad tire on there, then jack up the front again, put the good tire on, then jack up the back again and replace the flat with the spare.
