Do these things serve a useful purpose on drum brake studs? They're a PIA to get off. I'd just as well do without them.

Used so the drums didn't fall off on the production line prior to wheels being installed...

See post #2. Yet some people on here will argue till they're blue in the face you gotta have um.

Yup. They usually break when you pop 'em off anyway- if they were critical they'd include new ones in the service kits.
If he does, does that make him a tosser? lol
Omg...
Those are the single most important part of the rear end.
They are a safety device to keep the drum from falling off should the wheel fall off.
That way you still have control while safely driving at just under the speed limit to the nearest tire store.
I crack myself up!
As stated above assembly line use only. I have never even seen one on a car, new or old!
Now if you are going to compete in a 1000 point concorse competition, better have them on!

Only if he admits to it. Don't think I've even seen them either
