Please select the proper fender

Please...I mean come on, really? A safe way? I can think of many things that could go wrong. Most of them involve injury. Not to mention (which it already has) that you still need to properly torque the bolt. Just because it works does not make it safe. Words should be chosen carefully when posting things that can affect someone else's safety.
Edit: I have read of someone successfully drilling 4 holes in a 2x4 to line up with the four holes in the pulley. Then they drilled a big hole (probably used a hole saw) in the middle for the socket to pass through. They inserted 4 bolts through the 2x4 and pulley, and used it to back up the pulley as they removed the bolt. MUCH SAFER! (though more time consuming)
