2013 Focus Zetec S 1.6 D Hi I would like to change my front lower bolt on crossmember, I am wondering if the bolts are a one time fit ( Stretch type bolts ) Or can I reuse. Ideally Id like some new ones incase the are damaged or badly corroded . Has anyone removed this crossmember for anyone reason, can anyone advise P/N for new bolts / nuts. Attached is a pic of the replacement crossmember. IMG_5403.thumb.jpeg.fce941012e3885afa6a2b825eabe67f5.jpegAny advice would be great 

Thanks

    These bolts appear to be reusable, unless you can find any torque settings for them that suggest otherwise.

    There are two different types of bolt for this part.  And both changed around January 2013.

    Hi All. I'm looking at replacing this as well. Is it a big job? Cheers

    Sorry for the late reply. Yeah straight forward enough. I jacked mine high up on two stands to give more clearance. Quite a few bolts and nuts to remove. Cleaned the area and refit
