Front hub assembly bolts - TTY or reuseable?

[Phantom]

I am sure the answer is buried in the sticky above but can anyone confirm if they are reuseable or must they be replaced? If they must be replaced, know what size they are? Thanks.

I certainly would not hesitate cleaning up the old ones and re-using them but I never had to since any replacement hub that I have purchased came with new ones. At least for the 02.

Just re-use them if they look good. The tech bulletin for replacing the front hub does require you to also replace the bolts (with Ford part # incl), but I don't have the tech bulletin handy, but I've seen it (and reference to the bolts/replacement) mentioned several times here. When I did my hubs, I reused them and put some blue loctite on them before I torquing them back to spec.

Use them. I did and consider this. They are not a stretch type bolt or anything like that so putting them back in is virtually no different than if you never took them out in the first place...

Thanks everyone. The Timkin hubs didn't come with bolts so I'll just reuse the ones coming out.

I got the timken one too. A lot cheaper than moog or oem...the stockers are timken anyway...
