prop will hold the brake drum tight if screws are just loose or missing
is nut loose
 
No the nut in centre of brake drum is tight but 3"-4" play as you move brake drum back and forward
if nuts tight but flange still moves bearings collapsed or circlip holding bearing must be adrift youll have to pull flange off and look
