NO. You have to remove the wheel, but the trick is to get your front end high enough off the ground so you can depress the A-arm (with your foot) and get the top of the strut to tilt out of the wheel well. If you're careful, you won't have to disconnect the brake lines at all. Indeed the steering arm has to be pressed off, but the BJ's can remain installed if memory serves me right. Just be prepared to support the strut tube once it's pushed down and tilted out of the wheel well, so you don't strain the brake lines.
