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.
