Pressure plate bolts

[E30 Wagen]

I didn't know that you aren't supposed to reuse the pressure plate bolts so now I can't install my clutch. Are these bolts special, or can I just use any M8 x 16 bolt from the local hardware store?

[MR 325]

I have reused pressure plate bolts on every clutch I have ever installed.

Add a little bit of blue Loctite if you feel the need.

Certainly use loctite as above, no problems reusing them. Just check as there are different torque values for the different grade bolts, 8.8 vs 10.9, used.

thanks for the response!

I've reused the bolts myself without any problems.
