TRNW-2: 10R80 pump bolts

[FRANK GRIEVE]

We typically reuse them but put silicone under the washer head. Have broke a few but we have some from factory kits we save just incase. You can feel the ones that are going to break if you play close attention while tightening.

 Funny you should ask that.  2 days ago I did a test with the factory bolts that you "must replace".  I used a 13mm short 3/8" dr socket to test this information.  I put the bolt through the socket and put a nut on the other side.  I clamped the nut in the vise and used a beam style torque wrench to test.  AT 45 Ft Lbs the nut came out of the vice.  Nothing happened to the bolt.

anyone had any issues with reusing the factory 10R80 pump bolts ?  I've reused them on a couple units with no problems, I've tried using the ones that come in Precision kits, but their seal is nothing but silicone, which smashes and destroys itself after initial tightening ,  looks cheesy to me, I trust the factory bolts over them,  as long as you don't over torque them
