Replace bolt for 178 pulley?

Planning on installing the pulley and psk tomorrow and I didn't see a new bolt with my pulley from Needswings. Is the stock bolt for the crank pulley good to resuse or is it on of those that should be replaced every time it is off(torque to yield i think is the name).

According to the service manual - If it's not stretched beyond 78mm (3.0709 inches) - no reason you can't re-use and re-torque.

** EDIT **

Just remember to lube the threads with engine oil...

Reused it every time. Always torque it to spec and it never comes loose.

yes, and do not use the loctite on the crank bolt, that is for the long gold plated bolt/nut
