I'll confess I didn't read everyone response to this...

Yea, you might bend them if you don't remove the front sheet-metal.. etc, well most likely. To me it was at least 2"+ to clear.

If they bend... bend them back. Its a tension rod, there is no lateral tension imposed in it's function. Getting it all back together might be fun too.

You might be lucky and remove them, that short plug has a square lug. I actually used a map torch and a 1920's square window crank to get them out. Go figure something for the 20s fit.
