To think outside of the box per se, instead of trying to attach the wheel pants directly to the wheel axle...you could attach them to a long arm and mount the pivot point forward of the wheels. Secure the back end to the axle with a zip tie or strap so the pant assembly won't keep lifting up as you go over bumps. You will need to allow fer some clearance on the backside of the wheel as the pant assembly will be on a different arc than the wheel assembly.
To git access to the wheel assembly, remove the strap or zip tie and lift it forward. The setup would work similar to the protection on a tire balancing machine you see at the tire stores. Easy access!
