Caliper mounting bolts?

What's so special about these bolts that you need to replace them every time? You guys replace them?

The front ones are $40 a pop







edit: posted in the wrong forum, my bad

 

A guess: If new bolts come with the thread prepared with something to lock the thread (locktite or similar) that could be one reason.

 

Yes those bolts are supplied with a threadlock coating on the threads. I would apply some Loctite blue and just reuse them (actually, I did just that). I think under really extreme cases, there is a remote possibility that you can stretch the threads from frequent re-use, but honestly we are talking about beefy steel bolts threading into aluminium, so what do you think will yield first?

 

Not from the US

 

Confirms what rc24dk was saying. Thanks!

 

I've never replaced them. There's enough old crap on there that tightening to torque should be...and has been, fine.

 

I have replaced mine with Ti, no threadlocker, actually use anti-seize. NEVER had an issue. The only reason Honda puts that shit on those bolts, is for legal reasons. It's up to you to decide.

 

Cost is the same as OEM with shipping from the UK, plus possible duties. Would be cheaper from the US, but depends on the duty fees.
I'll just reuse the stock bolts with blue loctite.

 

I replaced my brake pads around 27000 miles, I just reused the bolts, no issues.
