Wow, this under the car tires support are a nuisance! However, what I would do is take out the spare tire, lug wrench, and jack. Then I would lean them up alongside the flat tire and when I saw a car coming would stand beside all of it and look helpless. In over 50 yrs. of driving I have never had to change a flat tire but twice! I do know how, but it is just so much easier waiting for a nice person to stop and "help" me - it makes their day and it makes mine and I stay clean. Needless to say I have only owned a vehicle with the under the car spare!! Good luck!
P.S. The longest I've had to wait was 15 min. once - usually someone stops within 10 min. - even when one flat tire was 15 miles from the nearest occupied house!!!

The tire is held on by a winch. There will be a long metal rod somewhere, probably under the front lip of the hood, that you stick into a little hole in the back of the Explorer to lower the tire.

if you have a tir iron you can lifyt the car up and then use the star jack to loose up the nuts that's holding you spare tire hostage.
