FORD 2002 Windstar v.1 - Manual (Page 215)

Tire change procedure
When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the transaxle
alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping off the
jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park).
To prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be
sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions) the
wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to
the tire being changed.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.
1. Park on a level surface, activate
hazard flashers and set parking
brake.
2. Place gearshift lever in P (Park),
turn engine OFF, and block the
diagonally opposite wheel.
3. Remove the spare tire, jack and
lug wrench.
4. If equipped with a wheel cover
that’s bolted on, remove the outer
wheel cover from the wheel with the
tapered end of the wheel nut
wrench.
5. Loosen the five plastic nuts on
the center ornament with the wheel
nut wrench and remove.
