While we are talking about this little bolt... I picked up a great tip from the list a couple of years ago. I drilled and tapped two additonal holes for this bolt into the face of the drum. Now when I need to remove the drum I simply remove these bolts, then screw them into the holes I tapped. The bolts push against the hub and the drum popps right off. No more bashing your drum with a 10lb hammer to get the darn thing off. jake 82 AC Westy
