03 tl type s rotor replace

is it okay to reinstall the rotors without the little screws?
Don't want to spend extra to get the brakes done and if I
have problems getting them out and break one don't need
the extra work drilling the old one out.
Thoughts
Thanks

You can leave the screws out if you so desire. Their main purpose is to hold and support the rotor in place. If you do decide to replace them, put some anti-seize on the threads and heads of the screws for ease of future removal.

They serve no purpose other than to hold the rotor in place during install. I havent had them in in about 500k miles now.
