I don't know about your 04 Sporty but the earlier models used a 5/16 X 18 nut on the backside. No special tools necessary if you remove the rear wheel.

Removing the wheel is alot of work. I don't see why I can't fit a wrench up between the wheel and fender. The lights may be a problem but the bracket has a slot for what appears to be the wiring.
You can do it anyway you can find to do it. That's called being a mechanic. Your model bike may lend itself to being done that way. Not all do. I've had to remove the rear wheel on many occasions to get a nut started under the rear fender for one reason or another.
Good Luck
