How to repair a water tanker truck on the road?
I'm trying to put together a story scene in which my lead character, who drives a water tanker truck, has to do a repair job on his truck by himself while he is on the side of the highway. I originally wanted him to have a tire blowout and have him put the spare on, but I don't know if that is the kind of repair job one man can do alone.
Frist of all, if it is a one-man job, where is the spare tire located on most water tankers, how is the spare removed, and what kind of jack would he need for the job?
Second, if this type of job must be done in a garage, what other mechanical mishap can I have my character face that 1) he can fix by himself, but 2) takes at least 30 minutes to an hour for one man to do by himself?
Third, if none of these scenarios is possible, please let me know that as well.
My character is not a mechanic by trade, but he has three years of truck driving experience.
I know this is an odd question, but I'd appreciate any help I could get.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm sorry.
Let's say the tire had a blow out and my character wanted to change out the bad tire and put the spare tire on.
