Thanks Bill and Dave. I feel a little better educated now, even though it is Sunday morning early.......
Bill- all the hoses/calipers etc were last renewed in 2017 (I do keep records).
At that time I also replaced the brake dust shields, hence I removed the hubs to do that.
You may be reassured to know that I did use new nuts then and did carefully follow the torquing procedure.
I do wonder about how long these single use components might be available. I am used to dealing with old British cars (MG and Triumph etc.) and have never thought twice about re-using old components. Castle nuts and split pins get my vote every time!
