How important is it to replace the brake caliper bolts when you are doing a brake job or could I just use some locktite on them?

I've never done that. No new bolts or loctite
220k on my C4 and 93 k on my C5
Just make sure they are tight....You'll be fine. :chevy

This Q has been asked many times.. try a search.. I think if you use locktite, you will be fine. The "new" bolts come with locktite already on them.

Good luck,
