I pulled my transmission to replace the rear cover seal and the rear main seal. Looking to put it back together this weekend, but I wasn't sure if I could reuse the pressure plate bolts or not. I know the flywheel bolts are torque to yield, so I'm replacing them with ARP bolts, but I wasn't sure if that was the case with the pressure plate bolts.

Anybody? I haven't seen an install procedure anywhere that says anything about it.

As cheap as they are, I'd be more comfortable in just stopping by the local GM dealership for some new bolts. BUT, I have reused pressure plate bolts (but DID replace flywheel bolts) with no problems.

I think you should just get new ones. When I got my Monster level 2 clutch, the instructions mentioned to use red loctite, which leads me to believe that you should replace them. Steve at SNL sells a set for both the plate and flywheel at a very reasonable price.

You can reuse them, but replacing them is cheap. Use red thread locker as well.

I have reused mine no less than 7 times. They dont torque very tight relatively and are not subject to the stresses like flywheel bolts would see IMO. Torque them to spec with red loctite and call it a day.

Yes you can reuse them. I've reused mine without any problems. I've reused my flywheel bolts without any problems. Just be sure to use the red or blue loctite. I've always used blue without any issues and I launch at 6k rpms. They're not TTY bolts so there isn't any harm in resusing them.
