I can't remember for sure but I think I installed my last hugger with the 
wheel "in situ".  You definitely have to take off the brake line cover and 
the chain gaurd that's in place now, as the Triumph hugger came attached 
to a new chain gaurd.

But it would be way easier with the wheel off.  Where are you located? 
Perhaps there is a liSTer close enough to help.
