Maybe I don't understand your question but isn't the spare
under the trunk pad? Like other Civics, Mine is a 98 and the spare is
easy to access once you remove the trunk "floor" which is just
a thick piece of cardboard under the mat.
The jack is either there or buried behind the trunk interior side panel.
There should be instructions there too, just be sure to put the jack
under the crimp where shown, there's a couple of indents on the
crimp where the jack goes.
Hope that helps you.

i'ma check it out again on lunch break... but from what i remember.... I couldn't figure out how to get the jack off of the back trunk..

unless i'm jus that weak.... but how do you un attach the jack from the car?

Sometimes the jack is mounted so you have to unjack it a little to
get it loose. Just unscrew the jack untill it is removeable by turning the
screw. (if yours is like that) Sometimes they just clip in.
If yours is screwed real tight you may have to take the handle, or a screw
driver to start the jack to get it to turn.
Once it's freed it should turn easily by hand, and collapse the scissor part
so you can remove it.
If yours is not like that.......never mind:smokin:
