    To replace the fan motor, the fender has to come off. Then there are afew screws that hold it to the housing.

    I do belive that you can loosen and rotate clockwise the just the inner fender and get access. But it is true that many take off both the inner and outer fenders.

    Try taking off the front wheel. Remove the inner fender bolts & get the inner fender moved down as much as you can.
    Depending on your flexibility it seems reasonable to be able to change it this way. I can get my hand into the cavity without too much trouble.

    Dealers used to cut a hole in the inner fender, change the fan motor then weld up the hole.
