Guys,
Are the bolts used to secure the flexplate to the crank stretch bolts? Meaning do they need to be replaced after they have been torqued to spec or are they re-usable? I would assume they need to be replaced as that's how it is on most motors.
If they need to be replaced, how many are required?
I am about to remove the tranny to replace a broken flexplate and want to make sure that I have all the parts.
Thanks!!

I know flywheel bolts are supposed to be replaced, I never have done this myself,call me bad! A flex plate doesnt have the stress on it like a flywheel so it might be ok.
The stock ones will do as long as you aren't planning on building the engine later. Just remember that a few dollars here may save you the aggrivation of having to remove the tranny again to fix it.
