friend ask me this today and I couldn't remember so.....reuse ok?? thanks.

I've re-used them in the past on small cars in the general field...low HP stuff. However, they're cheap and excellent insurance to replace. Replace them.

Have reused them all my life. If they're good they're good. Especially if they were good aftermarkets in the first place. But never had a problem re-suing OEM on some pretty serious stuff.

If they are the correct grade of bolt, there should be no problem. If they don't look like the original bolts and you're not sure they are correct. Replace them. I believe that both were Grade 5 bolts from the factory. (Go to FastenAll or other 'good' store for quality bolts.)

Same here...OEM or quality aftermarket can be reused...no issues!

Fine to reuse.....

More important than the grade- the bolts need to have a "shoulder" to fit the holes in the pressure plate and provide alignment.

Thanks, as I get older and work under the car only is required I tend to forget what I used to do, sucks to get older thanks for help and I just put them back in.

Man, do I hear you!

In 48 years of racing and beating up on vettes and big mopars, I never once discarded and replaced a factory flywheel or pressure plate bolt.

Note that I didn't say that I never lost or misplaced them, and had to buy new ones. Moreso lately than in days of yore.
