Exclamation 13" ape hanger install

Okay, so I know I am trying to take a semi easy way out of this, but I have tried to find anything that can help. I am in the process of putting 13" six bender ape hangers on my 2003 Road King anniversary edition and I am trying to not have to pull the whole exhaust to get this done. Does anyone have any help or any tips on how to remove the side transmission cover on the bike without having to completely remove the exhaust? (I know I know, don't try and take the easy way out, but man thats a pain) New to the Cruiser world of bikes and working on them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming you still have stock headers with the crossover pipe, gotta remove the exhaust. 09 and later, folks are able to loosen and pull out of way. 08 and earlier, gotta remove the exhaust.

That's what I figured but thought I'd ask just in case I was missing something. New to the whole cruiser world. My sports bike was a bit easier. Hahahahaha
