Rear Brake Rotor Bolts
#21
You can replace the bolts if you wish, there is no harm in doing so. You can get as hysterical about it as you wish. Though doing so doesn't make your claims right.

A TTY bolt will specify a torque, then an additional degreed rotation to obtain the correct stretch.

Again, what do you base your recommendation to ignore manufacturers mandate?

Okay ... I tried but wasn't able to control myself ... This conversation goes kind of like one I had years ago with a guy who was restoring a 37 Chevrolet ... He worked at the GM Proving Grounds ( in the noise and vibration dept ) and wanted an exhaust system fabbed for his ride ... I'd been building systems for the local "rodders" for years and had done a lot of work for guys at the Grounds ... We got into the specifics of what he wanted and one thing led to another ... Finally he wanted to know what the material ( rubber ) of the hangers was made from and would it be comparable to what GM used back in the day ... After a second I gathered my thoughts and responded "Probably not but neither is the Big Block that your're stuffing between the fenders ... Dealing with engineers can be a struggle as they're an expert ( maybe so ) on most every topic and sometimes don;t see the forest for the trees ... Just an observation ...
