I just got a flat and I need to change the tire on my suv. We have no user's manual because it was a repo... Thanks!How to change tire on 2003 ford explorer sport?ok, I'm going to assume that you have the 2 rods that are stored behind the rear seat, the jack and the lugwrench.I am also assuming that you can't get the spare out. When you open the tailgate, look just below the weather stripping at the bottom. there you should see a small hole about the size of a nickel in the center. connect the two rods together and insert the curved end into the hole. that is what ratchets the spare down from the frame. use the lugwrench to turn the rod by inserting the square end of the rod into the hole on the lugwrench shaft. that will lower the spare to allow access to it. beyond that, block the wheels to prevent the truck from moving when it is jacked up and change the flat. hope this has helped.How to change tire on 2003 ford explorer sport?just look for your tire tool and make the lug nuts loose and jack it up and then take the tire offHow to change tire on 2003 ford explorer sport?Just like any other car. Loosen the lug nuts, jack up the car, remove the lug nuts. Take the wheel off, replace it with a spare/new wheel, tighten lug nuts as much as possible, lower car down, retighten lug nuts to around 70 ft/lbs to be safe.

If the tire is flat and you have a spare:
1. Place a jack near the tire that needs to be removed. There should be an indentation or dimple, depending upon the jack, where your factory jack will go.
2. Block the back wheels.
3. Loosen the lugs using a lug wrench.
4. Raise the jack and remove the lugs the rest of the way.
5. Remove the tire and place spare tire on lugs.
6. Tighten lug nuts finger tight and lower vehicle.
7. Use lug wrench to tighten lugs the rest of the way and remove jack and blocks from tires.
8. Go to a certified shop and have the flat tire repaired.
If the tire is flat and you have no spare, take the tire to a shop and have it fixed if you have alternate transportation. If not, call and have it taken out there.
Under no circumstance should you use %26quot;Fix-a-Flat%26quot;. That green gunk will plug the hole for a while, but, over time, it will corride the inside of the tire.
If your tire is punctured on the sidewall, you'll need to purchase a new one. A tire dealer will be able to set you up with the proper size and install it.How to change tire on 2003 ford explorer sport?STEP 1: jack up.
