Can’t say I did. The Jack that should be in the van is in my garage. Which kit did you use in the link you sent over @Dellmassive ?
I had wondered whether you needed to use the jack to slowly lift it up
The tyre repair kits in your post earlier in in thei thread. You show two Amazon links, which would you say is the best?

Didn’t know about that! Thanks. Might see how easy it is to put back.
I carried a brand new spare around with me for 9 years in my Fiat motorhome, never used it.
I think I will still pack the tyre plugger and compressor.
Warning! Monty Python special incoming…. “It Wasn’t the Same in My Day” I always had to improvise as I never had a workshop. So imagine…..a 76 year old man in this position underneath the spare. 
I’ve even got gearboxes and differentials back by resting them on my chest and taking a deep breath to get them up to bolt height. Long time ago of course but I’m only 5’3” so easier to get doubled up underneath and nowadays I have a trolly jack and stands. However, I admit I didn’t know the T6 lever method and I’ve had the spare wheel off twice this year lying on my back. Having said all that, Murphys Law says my next puncture will happen on a cold wet night when I’m wearing a tux!

I had one of those Stop & Go Tyre Plugger kits given to me ages ago but it's sat under the front seat ever since as I've never had to use it (nor have I had to deploy the spare either). Having typed that I've probably put the mockers on myself and I'll get a puncture next time out.
Set your stopwatch - you’ll need it soon!!!
This ^^^^^^ wouldn't have helped me with this ↓↓↓↓↓
And that's why I'm not ready to ditch my spare!!!!!!
Think I said something along similar lines at the time!!
Brick in the fast lane (song about that isn't there...........?)
Not a T6 or T6.1 or even a VW - but it was a Skoda (am I allowed to stay???!)
But it probably ended in 'ox' or 'ck' - I know it did when I had similar in a Honda Accord!
Nothing wrong with the VW refurbed Skodas mate. One of the..sorry no... THE most exciting car I ever owned was a Skoda VRS Mk1. A true wolf in sheeps clothing.
