Are you sure you even need to take the wheel off?
I took my stock fender off of my Street Glide and replaced it with a freshly painted Fatboy fender and did it all with the front wheel on the bike.
Unless you have some severe wraparound type fender you may not have to mess with the wheel at all.

It's the 2002 Road King Classic in the background of the picture of me holding the end cap I got off after finding the set screws.

When I took mine off my 2001 RK one of the caps had the Allen head rounded out, was able to drive in a larger size and get it out. I then took one to a local nut and bolt shop and got some new ones that are a little longer, they stick out of the cap a little but give me enough to get a pair of vice grips on them if they give me problems in the future.

Mine were loose and rounded out by the techs that replaced My tires. I got the set screws out and replaced them with Machine screws. Easy on and off. Using the right length screw, You won't be able to see the head of the screw.
