i'd replace the ring gear bolts along with the crush sleeve and pinion nut. i consider them all one time use parts.

i tried that yesterday with my 79 malibu rear... they are left-handed thread bolts... i would think you could reuse them.. i reused mine, they torqued right back down with no problems
