I wouldn't re use them. They're more of a one time deal.

I wouldn't risk re using. They're cheap.

use a lot of threadlocker and you might be able to get away with it.

Not something i would do, but if youre in a crunch just do that and get some of the reusable ones and put them in yourself when you get a chance

Can find the same bolt at a local bolt and nut store. I found the same reusables from Comp Cam rockers at a bolt and nut store.

Rocker bolts are TTY. Retorquing them might result in them snapping off in the head.

I can guarantee you a shop will not replace them.
