Horace,
Me again.
Remove the two little bolts and toss them in your nuts 'n bolts can.
They serve only to hold the drum on when the wheels are removed. Most
people find that the drum is very difficult to remove as it is. When the
wheel is on, the drum is held in place with the same five studs that
hold the wheel. Do not use washers for spacers.
