Hello Sir, how many times can you remove the kingpin head from the 5th wheel then reinstall to torque specification of 65 ftlbs before needing to replace the bolts? I find it inconvenient to leave the kingpin head attached to my 5th wheel when I take it for repairs because the repair shop is unable to move my trailer as they don't have an adapter. Can those bolts be removed and reinstalled\torqued multiple times? If so, when would they need to replaced and do you sell just the bolts without the entire kingpin head assembly? Thank you so much for your time and information. Tim

@Tim Tim, honestly those bolts should not uninstalled and re-torqued more than once. Those bolts can be replaced with the Replacement Head Bolts for Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel # C74NR.

Thank you Bryce, should I periodically check the torque on them by just putting the torque wrench on them at the proper setting?

@Tim You probably should before each trip, yes. I'd just set the torque wrench to 65 ft. lbs and make sure all those bolts click. It's another step, but it takes almost no time to quickly hit all those bolts. Better to be safe than sorry, in my opinion!
