Anybody replace these ever.
Mine is 1994 which I have for 17 years.
I never replaced bolts.
I do torque them so they should not
have been over stressed.

I replace the caliper mounting bolts with stainless steel bolts on my Ks because SS bolts look nicer.

You won't overstress the bolts, you are more likely to strip the threads.
