If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
You may find that that jack does not have enough lift to raise the wheel off the floor high enough to get an inflated tyre on, starting with a flat tyre.
I have the jack out of a Rangerover/Discovery, 2000kg lift, two sections, and a shaped saddle to go around the axle tube. Cost £10 from a Landrover breaker.
Bit big for the tool tray, would need strapping in somehow.

I bought 1 of these, didnt use it, threw it in the shed. Simply because that saddle thingy is about the size of a 20p! If it had a bigger 1 it would be ok for a wheel change, just have to put it straight under the radius arm.
