I agree with Jim on reusing the steering column bolts. They are not tight enough for the tension on them to have changed the characteristics of the bolt itself (it is supposed to shear when you are in an accident). Most likely the Bentley recommends replacing them because they are destroying them when removing them. If you use a good pair of "Vice-Grip" brand grips you come out very easy. The main thing is to NOT replace them with normal bolts as this could cause serious problems in an accident (steering column not collapsing and spearing the driver).
