I have to agree that jacking at the spring plate to remove one wheel should be fine, and no added stress is sent to the other tire since the wt is supported by the jack.
I do disagree with the other tire being ok after a flat or blowout that had been driven on at all. Once the load is carried by the single tire it has been overloaded whether the carcass of the flat is there or not. If you leave the other tire in place, you will only be buying time till it possible blows starting a vicious cycle. Have seen and heard of many that this has happened to.
If the tire goes flat with no coach movement, the other tire should be ok provided it hasn't sat for very long. The flat tire will need to be inspected for sidewall damage from going flat. A decision needs to be made to fix or scrap. This is assuming it hasn't been driven on below normal pressures.
These are IMHO, and what I go by.
Cheers,
Bill
