Are any of these reusable, or are they torque to yield? They are 8 bucks a pop from the dealership, and 80 dollars total for all from GM Parts Direct...
I tried a few parts stores around here, but can't find any in a grade 8.
Any Ideas?
yes... they are torque to yield and shouldnt ever be re-used.

Where did you guys find new pressure plate bolts?
I hate to say it but
I couldn't find any anywhere so I pulled them out of a car in the junk yard
It's been about 2 yrs now
I'm not tellin u u should do it . But that it could be done
And I machined my flywheel for larger bolts In a common thread, since the pressure plate bolts are an oddball, M7X1.0
Currently #4 in Ecotec Forced Induction horsepower ratings. 505.8 WHP 414WTQ!!!
Currently 3rd quickest Ecotec on the .org - 10.949 @ 131.50 MPH!!!
Dealership has pressure plate bolts.
The clutch masters came with new ones.
Dang, wish there was somewhere else. 8 bucks a piece for pressure plate bolts. Can't just reuse and throw some loctite on there?
I suppose you could re-use them once. I re-used mine like 4 or 5 times, that was my problem .

I know there is a thread somewhere with the part number for Ecotec ARP flywheel bolts. I have ARP flywheel and pressure plate bolts, but that is for the quad/LD9

Did you order them directly from ARP or Karo? Do you have the part #'s?

Karo has the number since he just ordered 3 sets of them.
best place to get them.

Isn't the torque on the pressure plate bolts like 18 ft-lbs??
I think GM purposely calls everything "torque to yield" so people have to go out and buy new bolts all the time, only to find out they are some rediculous price.
When I put my new trans in 2 summers ago I removed the pressure plate to see what kind of condition my clutch was in and I reused the bolts, 15,000mi and 250 drag passes later I don't have any issues, maybe I got lucky??
That being said, my friend can get me any bolt, in any grade, in socket or allen head for free tho, so I'm changing every bolt I remove over when I build my motor this spring.
Never again GM will you bone me on your $10 bolts!

id have to look. clutch masters use allen head bolts and plus mine were going into the aluminum flywheel.
Think I'm gonna go with the Honda ARP bolts and use those now. Just waiting on all the other Flywheel bolts to come in.
Just ordered the honda pressure plate bolts, flywheel is at the shop, hoping the have the transmission in soon.
hey guys im working on my l61 swap and i went to chevy to order new flywheel bolts and pressure plate bolts and the parts manager told me there were two kinds of flywheel bolts for that car i cant remember exactally what he said but i think he said there were like 22mm bolts and 27mm ones i had him order the 22mm ones anyone know what the difference is or why there were two different sizes??
The honda plates do not work. Just found out.
Maybe it's just for the LD9's. So now I have ARP pressure plate bolt set for sale if anyone wants them
