Re: e30 brakes

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The caliper mounting bolts come with a thread locking compund applied. It's 
probably recommended to replace them because this compound is no longer 
intact after removing them.

You should be able to re-use them by first cleaning them and then applying 
thread lock.

On the other hand, if you're uneasy about doing this, you should be able to 
get the bolts from your BMW dealer for a few bucks.
