"Just a flat," says the man who is squatting by the rear tire well, using a lug wrench. "I've almost got it changed.'
Scène fictive dans un roman. Un personnage est en train de changer une roue arrière de sa voiture. Je suppose que ce "well" renvoie à l'emplacement dans lequel se loge la roue ? Pas certain, cependant, n'étant absolument pas expert en automobile. Je ne trouve pas de terme en français et, en anglais, je ne trouve que "spare tire well", qui semble faire référence à l'emplacement de la roue de secours... Merci pour votre aide.

jante du pneu arrière
Should be a misspelling for wheel (rim) = la jante. All tires are fixed on wheels.
"Juste une crevaison", dit l'homme qui s'accroupit bien près de la jante du pneu arrière, à l'aide d'une clé à molette. "Je l'ai presque fait changer.

(Dictionnaire Général de la Technique Industrielle)
This invention relates to the demounting of pneumatic tires from vehicle wheels and it is directed in particular to a tool which is adapted to be used to demount tires from wheels of the type having a drop center rim.
A demounting tool is employed after the beads of a tire have been broken from their seats on the rims of a wheel, and its function is to complete the removal of the tire from the wheel. In order to do this, the beads of the tire first must be forced into the drop center well and then bottomed in the well at one side of the wheel. This displaces the tire toward one side of the wheel and provides a space between the wheel rim and the tire into which the demounting tool may be inserted.

: Nonsensical, and we must not assume an error of any kind! He has got the wheel off, hence the 'well' where it fits is empty, ready to take the spare wheel; he is not removing the tyre from the rim, as suggested by your incorrect mention of 'jante'.

thank you for confirming the transcription error, anywhere. The wheel is not fit to the wheel arch and I did not suggest removing of tires. Please do not overinterpretate and do not allege things I did not claim.

Note: We do not know the reason for the flat tire, but this is one possibility. An arch will not deteriorate any part of the tire (tread, belt, shoulder, carcass, tube (if used), bead, rim or well).
I found the article, where a man changed the rear tire while a young woman stands watching him. It does not state any reason for the flat.
This character has already removed this defective rear tire that is somewhere on the ground or put away inside the vehicle, to be replaced by the spare tire. So this character must be standing next an empty "rear tire well".
"Juste une crevaison", dit l'homme accroupit devant le pneu arrière, une croix à la main. "Ce ne sera bientôt plus que de l'histoire ancienne."
