front brake rotors

[nbouse]

i am changing my front brake rotors on a 2007 chevy tahoe new body style from the OEM ones to after market ones ( Roto- Tec Sloted ) and on the factory ones there is a tiny screw that hold the rotor to the hub on the new ones the screw does not line up is it ok to install with out this screw since the tire and the lug nut hold everything in place

It should be OK.
A lot of rotors do not have a hold on screw.
Or you could drill hole and countsink for screw head in the rotor to get screw to line up.

A lot of vehicles just use a lock washer on studs bolts to hold rotor on when wheel is off.

Good luck
