YACT: Can you reuse those spring loaded bolts/nuts found in car exhausts?

[tnitsuj]

I need to remove a section of exhaust pipe to get to my oil pan, and I forgot to order replacement gaskets and those spring loaded thingies for the job? Can I get by with re-using the old ones?

Yes, the spring loaded exhaust bolts can be reused if they don't break.

I would reccomened a little anti-seize or grease upon assembly.

Do not over tighten or SNAP!
