I personally wouldn't take the fender off.

What you need is a 13mm gear wrench and a flexible flat tool. I used a plastic bodyworking tool. Getting the bolt out isn't the crappy part, it's getting the bolt back in that's the worst. With the bolt in the gear wrench you need something to push it into the hole. Which is what the plastic tool is for.
