That's what I do -- also sprinkle baby powder on the sidewalls to help it
slide in & out.

Good to have a rope or nylon strap around the tire (looped thru the steel
wheel) to aid in pulling it out.  Picture lying on your back, one foot on
each bumberette, pulling on that rope for all you're worth.  On a pre-60K
TR3A that compartment is a snug fit (possibly moreso in my case do to a
sagged/bent boot floor).
