Default Is it a must to replace flywheels bolts?

I meant to order them. Got all parts in, and am starting install Saturday morning. I just realized I never ordered them. Is it a must? Is it recommended? OK to reuse stockers with red loc tite?

normally I just clean my bolts on a wire wheel , and then loctite them in when I do mine. Not too sure if you have to replace the bolts. They are not torque to yeild style so I dont see the need.

The stockers are reusable, put red loctite on them and torque to spec.

Yup,
I actually got some ARP bolts and IIRC, they were for ford application to get the longer length. Definitely red loctite them and the pressure plates bolts.

Yeah, I have re-used mine more than once; with loc-tite of course.
