As a gal who swapped out stems more than once, I do not believe this task would be that difficult for you. Yes, fenders can be a little tricky. But on the plus side VO fenders are more straightforward than Honjos.
I think the biggest obstacle with stuff like this is our mindset--and I admit, that is not easy to change! But you appear to have a somewhat...determined personality. I would get the VO instructions from its website, order the $5 bracket and some leather washers, or maybe a full kit so you have a bolt and some spare parts. You'll have that fender de-wiggled before it's time to cook supper. And who knows, eventually you could open a bike shop. The Henderson Helping Hand? No, The Wiggly Fender!
