Default Can i reuse flywheel bolts?

I have read that the flywheel bolts should be replaced if the flywheel has been removed. Is this necessary?

You can reuse them. Make sure you use Loctite after you reinstall them.

I've reused flywheel bolts on damn near 6 or so cars with out loctite and none have had a single problem. So I'm gonna say yes you can.
