Don't get too 'vigorous' with handling the wheel studs on either end. They are hardened steel and will crack if bent very much. Besides being a pita, they are/were $16/ea (x20) last time I priced them. Those flat stud heads are needed to clear everything in back during assembly so there are no known cheapies.
