That's pretty satisfying. I had to file them off my spouse's bike. They were so big that she had to take the nut entirely off the skewer to get it out of the fork. And she kept losing the nut. Once she was almost unable to ride because we couldn't find it. Somehow I found a generic 8mm nut and a washer as a stopgap. She won't be having that problem anymore.
