Brake drum screws

["Gary Hutton" <hutton@evansville.net>]

Was wondering what the collective wisdom was on the necessity of the two
pain-in-the-@ screws that hold the rear drums to the flange.  I've got
one broken off in each flange and the threads stripped in one of the
other.  Do we really need these things - seems the wheel and lug nuts
will do as good or better at holding the drum on.  Or am I missing
something?

Thanks in advance.
