I have everything but I read that you should change the cotter pin. Has anyone reused the cotter pins? Also would they have them at Home Depot autoparts?

they have them at auto parts stores, they're WAY to cheap to even think about risking re-using them, you can get kits with varioussizes and they're not much more than few dollars

def. agree.......way too cheap to chance it even if the look bran new or were on the car for a month.....just put new ones on and then you wont have to worry about if they're good or not.

I re use them as well but they are cheap if they look like they need to be replaced than do so better safe than sorry
