What's wrong with it?
Well, I don't agree with "11. Tighten the lug nuts again'as much as you can." With the equipment described, only a wimp would get away without damaging either the studs, the nuts or the wheel using that criterion.

"4. Loosen the lug nuts, which hold the wheel in place, before jacking up the car: Place one end of the lug nut wrench over a lug nut. Use a hollow pipe (about 2 feet in length) for leverage by slipping it over the end of the lug nut wrench."
Being pedantic, aren't all pipes hollow? And I can't imagine 1/2" bore copper pipe being much use.

The method my Dad taught me was to tighten nuts with the manufacturer supplied wheelbrace until tight, lower car off the jack, then stand on the end of the wheelbrace and preferably bounce on it to make sure they're good and tight... Never caused any evident problems on any of our cars! But nowadays I'm a bit less forceful with them.

Steps 1 & 2 could do with a rewrite but looks OK to me.

Obviously downloaded from a US site;makes no mention of bolts-that would confuse anyone who needs that site to change a wheel and I would always recommend placing the spare under the car before jacking it up-in the unlikely case of the car falling off the jack it protects the suspension and exhaust.
