Last time i did the timing belt I replaced the crank bolt, is it actually necessary to do so? I remember I bought one of the last ones in stock. The manual also says to replace the flywheel bolts.. Would like to get everything done and back in the car tomorrow rather than waiting for expensive bolts.

I personally don't think it is necessary to replace the crankshaft bolt (the large 27mm one). Unless of course if it is damaged.

I cannot comment on the flywheel bolts. If they are torque to yield (TTY) bolts that could be a reason to replace them. Good luck!
