Hi chaps.
As title really, are the flywheel bolts reusable or one time things?
Cheers

I think they are supposed to be one time things, but often people reuse them with a fresh coating of loctite

Yeh reuse them. If you make sure they're torqued correctly you'll be fine

Nice one

I'm fairly sure I reused them on my S50 conversion and they haven't fallen out yet AFAIK.

There are many nuts and bolts that are supposed to be renewed but most people don't!
Lock tight and torque settings you should be fine

Given the proximity of the flywheel to your legs,and the cost of a set of new bolts...

Flywheels scare the hell out of me. I'd definitely replace the bolts
