A few readers asked me how could I swap between front and rear wheels/tyres by using only ONE jack. Let me tell u how...
Precautions: Make sure the jack is placed on a flat and hard [non-yielding] surface. After jacking up, place something [such as stacks of bricks or wood blocks] underneath the car as 'back-up' and safety measure to prevent any unwanted incident from happening.
1. Locate the "Center of Gravity" marker as shown below - i.e beneath side sill near front tyre.

2. Before jacking up make sure parking brake is engaged and gear lever at position "P". Remove wheel bolt head covers by using special tool [stored in the spare tyre well, yellow in color] then loosening 'em by a quarter-turn each. Jack up the car.
3. See, using only one jack both tyres are in the air!
Loosen wheel bolts to remove wheels/tyres...
Good Luck.
