Will, I think I can answer the question for Walter or Ellenbrick.

In the aftermarket repair guides, designed for all levels of experience, there are warnings to not reuse "single use fasteners." No such warnings could I find in the factory service manuals, but Bentley, one of the many we 240 owners use, has this instruction step in the section "To remove and install front brake caliper" shown on page 510-6: "4. Remove the two caliper mounting bolts and discard the bolts. See Fig. 13."

I always did as you suggest until Volvo must have acquiesced to the legal dept. and began to include replacement bolts with their discs. What else would I do with them?
