If you can replace the bolts with new LR ones would be best. Option two use 243 Loctite when installing them

Title says it all really but the workshop manual for the 2.2 Puma says throw them away and use new ones but nothing else I've read or watched mentioned that (could be that most guides out there refer to the 2.4 and earlier?). I'll probably pick up some new ones and do it by the book but as a novice just interested in the voices of experience out there.

Thanks. Am just interested as I've watched and read endless guides on this job and not one has ever mentioned replacing them. I did discover the bolt spec changed from the 2.4 (M8x13mm) to 2.2 (M8x16mm) so maybe that is it.
Got my hands on some new ones from LR, pricey at $8 each, that's 3 x the price of the older ones. They must be sprinkled with pixie dust along with the extra 3mm.
