What's the best way to inflate the spare tire?

[jimmieego]

My spare tire's pressure dropped to 28 PSI, and there's a warning light in the dash. I don't have a jack to lift the car. I'd like to avoid crawling below the trunk to reach the spare tire. But it seems like that's the only way?

Thanks for your input!

I’m sure someone will be along shortly with a definitive answer.

The valve stem points up so youll want to lower the spare using the tools under the driver side rear seat.

Lower the spare almost to the ground, spin it so the valve is most conveniently located toward you, lower to the ground, inflate. It's a good opportunity to get familiar with how to access the spare tire.

Edit - doh, looks like you've got a double post here! What's the best way to inflate the spare tire?
