If they aren't torn, moist, or otherwise damaged, you should be fine.Can I reuse flange gaskets, maybe 2 years old. Don’t have more on-hand.
Im curious as well. Is this true?@OTRAMM EXCELLENT video, but one question: torque the flange nuts to "26," sure--but 26 what? I've read that the FSM's 26 ft-lbs is a stud-snapping typo. So--in-lbs? Thanks!
I have the Trail Gear spindle nut setup, so use @Tools R Us / @BILT4ME method: 45 ft-lb while turning, then 0, then 35 while turning.

I use 26 ft-lbs. Never snapped a stud at 26lbs.
If studs are in good condition, should be no problem.
If you wale on the studs with a big hammer to pop cone washers, and studs get deformed you may have an issue
I usually do them by feel . In the video I torqued them to 26 foot pounds following the spec off of my Wit's End poster. I can double check the torque in the FSM on Monday.
