So when I loosened the fill and drain plugs, I did it from in front of the rear suspension (while lying on my back), so the full-sized spare didn't come into play. However, when getting ready to fill the unit back up, I quickly realized I could either cuss and swear for 15 mins as I tried to jockey the gallon jug with pump into spots few and far between, or remove the spare and have an easy time of it. Guess which I chose?
Made it a much easier task! When i did it on the '04, it had the small spare and you had enough room to do things without removing the tire - but the full sized spare just took up toooo much room.
