Not much help here but 10 K should not need new brakes.

Ditto

I do the same as Bob. Clean, inspect, loctite, re-install. Never an issue.

Choices choices

It's a safety thing with manufacturers. It's not that the bolts are bad but if there is a brake issue it can be alledged that the bolts were reused. I garantee they are not replaced in the shop unless they are found to be damaged in anyway....

I did the same loctite then re-install. I replaced the brake pad also didn't need it they were still good, but with almost 13,000 miles I didn't know if the last until the next tire change.
