Hi, I'm in the midst of a pretty extensive rebuild of my 240D brake system, involving the replacement of both front and rear calipers. When I took the calipers off, I noticed that the bolts holding them on had some blue stuff in the threads (and they were a bear to loosen). At first I thought, oh, blue lock-tite no big deal. But then I happened to be shopping at Fastlane and saw that replacement caliper bolts are available as a separate orderable item - and they come with the blue stuff already applied.

Question: is it OK to re-use the old bolts, perhaps with a little dab of new lock-tite?

Kurt
