From what I can tell, as long as the driveshaft is in the hub, these bolts don't really do anything:

You definitely need them back in, and done up tight

Are you pulling them through so it doesnt all spin?

Yes, I do but sometimes I find that the tap is the wrong way round because when I was tightening the nut it jumped out and then I have to untighten them and retighten them all again which is a pain. Which was why I was wondering if it was possible to get rid of them but I guess not. A "long" nut such as this one might be a nice thing to get next time though:

Well I tightened them up in the end. If they can't rotate 360 degrees then does that mean they are seated? Just realised I can't see shit when the driveshaft bearing is in the way!
