Default quick help

I was about to install my new lay-down license plate bracket I just got and realized there are nuts under the rear fender that the three screws go into.

Am I going to need to take the fender off to get to those nuts?
I can reach them with my hand but not sure if I will be able to get them off/on.

Any quick help will be appreciated on how to take off the old bracket and put on the new one without taking the fender off.

I'll be out in the garage trying to figure it out...

Thanks

if you cant get your hand and a open end wrench in there have your ol lady or kid do it while you screw in the new bolts/screws....no need to take the rear end apart to get to it.....or put her on a jack and take off the lower shock mounts and drop the wheel/swingarm...

As above but worst case scenario is you jack the bike up and remove the shocks - then you will have all the room you need.
