Never replaced caliper bolts when I have changed rotors on any car....So if you are concerned about them becoming loose, use some loctite

I don't believe they're torque to yield so whack them on the wire wheel and put some new loctite on.

They are TTY bolts for sure
I would not bother replacing if they were not ...

It seems it is 92172963

This bolt part no. Seems to be used on all commodores from VT commodore onwards...(non brembo calipers). Front and rear...

Ron, I was in the same position as you a couple of months back - new pads and wanted the rotors machined and wanted to use new bolts

Watson Holden in Bundoora advised that the bolts listed above were the correct fitment for both front and rear

Car in question - VE SS-Z Sportwagon with the regular brake package

Cost me about $7ea to purchase through the dealership

That is the non brembo rear caliper bolt for VF.

You need 92139222 x 4 for your VF non brembo Front caliper.

Why are they single use? Are they like the bolts used in the Cylinder heads and stretch once torqued?

No idea... I'd say given the fact that they are an integral safety component would have something to do with it

I've noticed that every genuine fastener that I've purchased that comes with Loctite pre-applied is considered a use only once fastener

Also recommends in the service manual that they be discarded after removal
