how important are the brake disc reatining bolts?

had a bit of a mare getting them out when i had my discs off and wondering if they are really needed, wont wheel nuts keep discs secure?

also, anyone know size of them, are they M6 or M8?, knakked 2 up taking them out so i need some if there going back in :crap:

just helps you line the disc up while putting the wheels on. once the wheels on that holds the disc secure to the hub.
