Tires & Tire Changer - My Decision
The filler neck on my truck is cap-less.
There are 2 hinged flaps inside the neck. I suspected the short spout on the No-Spill can wouldn't be long enough to open the 2nd flap. My suspicion was confirmed when I got the can home.

Unfortunately, when it is fully inserted to open the 2nd flap, the funnel end doesn't stick out far enough to be used effectively with the short No-Spill spout.
If the can was completely full, I might be able to dispense 1/2 gallon. In order to dispense the entire 2-1/2 gallons, the spout needs to be vertical.
Here's a different angle. I placed a 1-1/2 inch O.D. washer inside the funnel to illustrate the small opening. The washer is sitting about 1/8 inch below the funnel lip.
Good luck

I wish I could say it was super easy but I struggled a little on both the front and the rear.
These tires are just so stiff! I place the new Commandar III's in the sun for a couple of hours which helped. The Dunlops were cool.
I really didn't know how little thread was on the rear tire until I removed it. I'm due for inspection and it would not have passed.
Balancing these was therapeutic. I played with them a while until they were perfect.
This was my first time ever removing a rear wheel and setting the belt tension. All went smooth and doing it myself allowed me to throughly clean the wheels and other parts of the bike.
I worked from the floor using my scissor Jack's and it went very easy.
I removed the tail pipes because we wanted to install the stock SE pipes back on the bike. I'll have a smokin deal on a pair of Supertrapps. Great pipes, just a little louder than we want.
Thanks for all the comments, help and suggestions.
I'll take her for a test ride tomorrow and report on the tires.
