If you have the correct tools, you won't have to remove the wheel at all. Only problem is that you'll have very little room to work with. Without removing the wheel, you'll have to turn the wheel towards the side that you are working on.

Take the 5 mins to remove your wheel, it'll make your life much easier.

I've done it many times without removing the wheel once, or jacking up the car. Just move the wheel to the opposite side. Takes me only 15 min. per side to install now. It is a tight squeeze, but with patience and the right tools, it won't be so bad.
