You can, I and many others would advise against re-using them. Just go to the dealer and pick up a couple.

the bolt is TTY. Ferocity is right, you can re-use it but i'd only suggest that option to get you out of a tight fix while order/buy a new one.

magazines are not 100% and are often typo's or flat out wrong info.

The real story is that you use them once. Sure, if you re-use it there is a 0.23% chance it will fail, but I wouldn't risk it. Torqueing them to 240 ft/lbs stretches the bolt out a small bit. If consistantly removed and re-torqued, it can even break the bolt. Just go to the dealer and pick up a couple. Or you can get some from out sponsors.

....$25 (vs. $6 for the stock one) and you have a bolt that is stronger, longer (easier to install pulleys), and can be used over and over again
