Replacing rear propshaft - should I order new bolts?

Hello all,

I’m changing the rear prop shaft on my D3 next weekend. Would you recommend that I get new bolts, or do people usually find the originals are re-useable?

The transfer box was serviced last year so I’m hoping the front bolts will be fine. But The rear ones and the bearing ones have been there since new - just over 100,000 miles now.

It’s £20 I could spend to be safe I suppose?

If your lucky, they'll all come out ok and you can re-use your old ones, it only takes for one to round off and your in trouble, when i did mine i didn't want any mishaps so replaced them all, we do a kit for peace of mind.
