FORD 2003 Mustang v.5 - Manual (Page 127)

Never use the rear
differential as a
jacking point.
To lessen the
risk of personal
injury, do not put any
part of your body
under the vehicle
while changing a tire.
Do not start the
engine when your
vehicle is on the jack.
The jack is only
meant for changing
the tire.
5. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.
6. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making
sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall lug
nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been
lowered.
If you are using the temporary tire, the lug nut
washers will not appear to be flush with the rim.
This is normal only when using the temporary spare
tire.
7. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle
counterclockwise.
8. Remove the jack and
fully tighten the lug
nuts in the order
shown.
9. Put flat tire, wheel
ornament (if
equipped), jack and lug
wrench away. Make
sure jack is fastened so it does not rattle when you
drive.
10. Unblock the wheels.
