I was wondering on how to to remove it easily? As you can tell my rear bumper use to block it, But now that I have a roll pan, It is kinda sticking out like a sore thumb. So any help will be appreciated.

Are you saying you don't know how to remove the spare should you have a flat tire and need to put on the spare on the side of the road?

Can't quite see all the parts in your photo but it looks similar to my '86. You are supposed to put a tire iron in the end tube of the cross bracket.
Pry up and at the same time move the eye bolt to the wide end of the key slot. Then let the tire down to the ground with the tire iron. Then unscrew the wing nut or hold down assembly from the tire.

My hardware and brackets are so bent up that I have to use a floor jack instead of the tire iron.

If you want to permanently remove the brackets etc it just remove the bolts from the threaded rods on both ends and you are done.
