The aftermarket ones have barrell nuts. The easiest way is to remove the wheel liners. When I replaced mine I was able to squeeze my forearm in there on the passenger side and get the nuts on. The drivers side is a pain. I was only able to get the front nut on. I never bothered putting the rear nut on and it's been tight!
