The 08 Sevice Manual states: (abbreviated)
1. Remove front wheel.
2. Remove fasteners that hold fender in place and remove fender.
So, I suppose if you could find a wrench that would fit without removing the wheel than knock yourself out. I do find that stock harley bolts are pretty soft, so be careful.
