It came out without help!

You can use head bolts 3 times.. probably being over cautious
You can not reuse stretch bolts.
If its a normal bolt that has stretch but is still within its spec(goodluck finding what that spec is) then its reusable. But if its in any critical spot like headbolts reusing them is kinda like reusing headgaskets, im sure people have made it work but it still remains abit disgusting.
 
Well top and bottom knuckles changed both sides good job @Flossie I took the sensors, they were used.. Both bottom knuckles were worn. Also left hand tyre was deformed on tread. Ended up buying four new (well old new) wheels with tyres for £60. Photos to follow. One was put on to get me home, up to yard tomorrow to fit the others. 👍

Having gone balls-deep into the engine there's no way I would risk using head-bolts unless it was a scrapper. Or the camshaft one. Seems they put these bolts where they know you won't risk it!
 
First pic is before next are the ones I got yesterday. On closer inspection rear tyres need replacing as side wall hazing. So that means 2 tyres to buy. On inspecting old wheels 3 tyres very good and 1 damaged plus rim is OK so 1 new tyre needed. Therefore am going to go down the route of 1 tyre and refit them to the rangie and sell the new set. Its purely a game of economics.

What's the date on the rear tyres?
