Done it several times. Is the fender loose and pulled out of the way? That's how I did mine. No way I was going to be able to get it started without doing that.

On the SD, you can access via the wheel well. No need to pull the fender (which I did before researching). Try chasing the threads with a tap & also the bolt.

Its amazing what a bit of something like WD40 on the bolt and mounting hole can do too.
