that's an interesting question. i THINK you're right, and i'm pretty sure that the axle and nuts will chew off some of the powder-coating anyway.
i've heard peeps talk about problems with rust creeping under the powdercoat, but i have a hard time believing the small area that will be exposed will create a problem.
i say go to it with the file
