brake calipers

cant use the bolts that hold it on again Is this true,Frankie.

Never fitted new myself, Haynes doesn't suggest so, tighten bolts to 72 lb.ft If OEM thought necesary for safety then would expect to see new bolts in the seal kit. (but not the bolts holding the two halves together, if leaking here then renew the assembly)

 

[uber cool]

if not damaged reuse them. It's good practise to replace but not essential.

I never have.

you can reuse the bolts that hold the calipers onto the spindle if they are in good condition, BUT if you split the caliper for cleaning etc it is advise you replaced those bolts holding the two halves together.
