Yes I can, the base or frame is 70mm off the floor ....the system needs to be off the floor otherwise the drawers will not slide out and you do need to cut a bit off the rear opening anyway.
I did some testing with a small ratchet socket, I have a handle from a jack I had and it is easy too. I have no problems getting my hand under the space, I found winding the winch wasn't too difficult...but someone with bigger hands would find it a bit awkward.
However the simplest way is to take one of the drawers out there's a enough space then and the framework doesn't cause too much of a problem.
If the drawers were loaded one would need to be unloaded of course...but how often does one get a flat..... I guess no more difficult if the tyre was stored under the floor and the back is loaded with gear.
When I had my WG I stored the spare up on the roof rack and that would be an option here.
