I wouldn't, AFAIK they are not designed to be reused. They are available from Mazda and are not expensive.

I have reused mine. Removing the nuts is not something you do often reusing them once should not be a problem.....noting that I am not an engineer, and my advise could kill you.

And I also agree with the response to your question on the big forum.
