That's what makes me curious about what you will choose to do in your situation? Am I correct in assuming that you will just snug the new bolts up as apposed to going all the way to ~ 30 ft lbs again?
The reason I asked is because I'd like to replace the standard RD2 crank bolts with some self-extracting ones (mostly because I think they look waaaay better) so my motivation is purely cosmetic. I may just wait until I put another couple thousands miles on my BB (its less than a year old) and switch the bolts and replace the BB at the same time.
