I think I remember reading in the bentley manual that is not good to reuse the crank arm bolts.
looking at the bolts, they seem to be in good shape... no stress marks, threads are good and they still have some of the blue locktite substance on the threads... |
Unless they look rusted or stripped, I would re-use them. Once the cranks are installed onto the square spindle and have been sufficiently tightened, the bolts don't really bear the load.
