Every Spit owner should have a couple of spare studs
and lug nuts lying around!  Sooner or later you
will have a stud that gets stripped or cross-threaded
or that simply does not seem to torque down like it should.
Changing them takes about 5 minutes if you're not unlucky.

Add them to your "things to get the next time I place an order" list...
