New hubs come complete with nuts, so I used the new nuts when I replaced my hubs. One would think that the torque plus 45 degrees tightening sequence indicates "torque to yield" like some head bolts, which should not then be re-used. However, I suspect it's just to get a more accurate tightness irrespective of the friction. I wouldn't hesitate re-using the existing nuts if you just removed the hubs to inspect them.
