Normal bolts work; if the top shears off, the drum will come off anyway. I think the hubs are threaded right through, so a drill on thňuśj end will probably wind it through the hole with care. Allen screws are higher tensile, so less likely to shear off. Plus-gas or other easing fluid will help; I use a hex bit from an impact driver and the 1/2" drive end for it. Dave.
