Yeah, it's pretty easy. Might take me a while, but I can definitely do it.

Yep.
Find the 'jacking point' beneath the car nearest to your flat tyre.
Loosen the wheel nuts just enough to make them easier to remove without too much movement of the vehicle.
jack the car up just enough so the flat tyre leaves the road.
Undo bolts and remove wheel.
Replace with spare.
Return wheel nuts and tighten enough to secure wheel.
Lower vehicle safely back to the ground and tighten wheel nuts.
You should always carry chalk or bright yellow crayon in your car.
This way you can mark the damaged wheel to remind you it's no good and needs replacing.
Also a good move if you get stopped by the cops who can actually write you up if you have a faulty 'spare' in your trunk.

though I've never done it, I have ideas through observation.

@SW-User You could probably guess the process lol

@BlueVeins it looks easy but everything always looks easy until you actually have to do it 😅
I've never done it because I've always happen to have a family member like my brother or father around when it's need to change and they won't want me to do it, so... and yeah you're right, I could guess it.. it doesn't links difficult lol

Things I always insisted on back in my driving days--good tires and a good battery. But I've changed a few tires and jump-started a few batteries.

Do you mean take the wheel off the vehicle and put on a new one then yes. If you mean take the tire off the rim and put on a new one then the answer is still yes.

Step one. Handbrake on Step two, car in park or in gear. Step three chock the opposite side wheels. NOW start on the tyre

Technically I do. I watched my female cousin change her own flat tire when AAA took forever to show up.
Yes, though I don't know if I have the strength to actually do it.
