    Has anyone ever changed a tire on on inclined garage driveway?
    I don't want to move it since the metal is grinding on the cement.
    I am thinking about just calling triple aaa because they have that big ass jack, but they also take forever to show up.

    yes. i have changed my breaks on an incline. be sure to put wheel blocks on the back tires or front tires depending on where you are changing the tire. also, pull up the e-brake.

    So does the parking break work on all four wheels? because the front one is totally empty.

    Parking break is back wheels only. If on an incline, put stops behind the tires that are still on the ground. Anything should do, I have old bricks.

    Kill the headlights, and put it in neutral.
