<< I had some problems fitting the rear wheels on my brake drums.  The wheels

 Discount caught this and wouldn't install the wheels until I Dremeled a
 couple of small divots in the back of each wheel.  Once my 20 minutes of
 machine work was complete, these wheels installed with no further problems.

YOU DONT EVEN NEED THOSE BOLTS!!!    :<)     all that dremel work for
nothing... :<)
those worthless little bolts hold the drum to the backing plate. ummmm  the
lug bolts do the same thing...  vw overkill...
ive removed those on every van i had and tossed them into my spare bolt
bucket.
