Just curious how many people re-use their ring gear bolts if they remove them. I have replaced them in some and others re-used without any problems but the FSM satates to "Always Replace"

I have. Just inspect, clean really good and loctite them.
Same here.
Good luck finding new ones.
520 ring gear bolts are NS1 from Chrysler. I would guess most others are also or getting close.
I re-used 555 ring gear bolts with a totally different diff with no problems.
