I've always been told never to re-use flywheel bolts if you remove the flywheel from the vehicle....best to get new bolts (only a few dollars for the additional level of safety). I've only ever done clutches on GM vehicles, and this seems like sound advise. Not sure if it applies to the deuce, but it seems like such a simple thing that I can't imagine it being a liability. I typically replace all hardware that I feel is likely to see 80% or more of it's stress limits on a regular basis...

Not preaching here...just sharing my experiences. Safety is always in my "top one".

and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time
