Oh for sure get the correct fitting bolts and put them in
those holes. I drove my 91 Civic for many years in the
Northern U.S. Using the bolt holes a few years ago, I
didn't have any meaningful problem getting the drums off.

BTW, always helps others (now or for the archives) to post
your year of Honda and miles on it, in addition to the
model. :-)
