Question about swapping the OEM hitch onto a new car.

Hi Everyone,

I've currently got the OEM hitch on my X5. I just bought a new X5 and will be swapping the hitch over. My question is whether I can reuse the hardware or whether I should buy new hardware. I'm concerned the bolts will lose their strength if they are re-torqued (i.e. I'm not sure if the hardware is torque-to-yield).

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.
