Hello,
I just went to my garage to plug in my Leaf that I had not driven since Friday. Luckily I happened to go towards the passenger side and noticed that rear passenger side tire is flat.
I have read the multiple threads on the leaf flat tire issue.

I realize that I should not be using the goo. Being at home I think the best option is to just take the tire off the leaf and get it fixed.
I could call road side assistance to get the tire removed I suppose but just wanted to check
- if its easy enough to use a jack and remove the wheels?
- can I use any other vehicles jack?
- any specific care I should take?
- are the jack mounting points well defined?
- after the tire is fixed, do I need any other check to be done?
I haven't had only 1 flat so far and that too it was in the middle of a highway so I just had roadside assistance come and replace with the donut. This one is different so any guidance is helpful....
Will Nissan roadside assistance remove the wheel alone? I can then have my "AAA" come and install it :-D. I know it seems silly but I got too much going on to try to figure things out so looking at all options..
