You can remover the fender with out taking the wheel off, its a bit of a prick of a job you have a brake hose holder on the RHS that gets caught up on the for leg, becarefull not to scratch the fork leg, some people have driled them out & taken them off

It comes off without removing the wheel. Like Simmo said the brake hose clip is a PITA, the nut is on the inside of the fender - 8mm (maybe 10mm???) spanner and some jedi master calming techniques and you get there. A bit of masking tape will prevent and scuffing etc when squeezing the fender past the fork legs.
Some people are like Slinkies ... not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.
