Ok, this BS has gone on long enough. If you can't follow the instructions that these very PATIENT young men have given you, then you have no business changing your own tires, hell maybe even getting behind the wheel. Please just take it to your local tire joint and let them do it for you. I would hate to hear the news headlines of "MAN IS DECAPTIATED BY HIS JEEP"...not trying to be funny but you have to be smarter than the equipment you are dealing with and I am very concerned for you right now! Please for the love of God and all that is Holy, I beg of you, go to the tire joint!

Rob ... I've been in your shoes before, but it was in 1972 when I was 15 ... way before computers were invented.
Just be careful and do one corner at a time. Do you have a good hydralic floor jack? Like a Hein-Werner?
If you do, roll that floor jack under the axle.. choose a solid spot at the closest point to the rear hub .. pump that thing until the right rear tire is 3" above the ground and remove that puppy. Don't crawl under your Jeep at any time its off the ground.
It should only take 10 minutes per tire...
