Dave,
I took mine out to install my Audi Turbo 15" wheels,
no ill effects, 1 year on the road.
If you are nervous about it, you could countersink the
hole, and use a tapered screw, like the front disks...
leaves a flat surface.

I have some questions.
Does anyone know the consequences of removing the rear
bolts that
position
the brake drums on a Vanagon? I have some 16 Inch
MErcedes wheels that
are on
my 71 Crew cab (under construction) and thse brake
drum bolts keep me
from
mounting them on my Vanagon.
Also, my water temp guage on my 86 Vanagon works on
occasion. This is
VERY
frustrating. Should I just replace the sensor or is
there a simple way
to
test. I really don't want to bleed the system. WHAT A
PAIN.
Thanks,

Dave
