I have reused the bolts. I may use the washers again if they clean up well, but you are better off using new ones. A good hardware store may have what you need if you bring n the bolt to match size.
Not sure if there are any washers used on the 9-5 that have a built in rubber gasket,(used on the 9000) but if so you can find them at Advance auto.
A local hydraulic line shop can make new lines for you if yours look bad or get beat up. bring them your old ones with the fittings. surprisingly cost effective.
Replacing any rubber hose brings peace of mind. Best to do that work on your time, not when the car tells you to.
$575 is a lot for me to fix something that isn't broken, unless you have a reason to expect it to start leaking
If it is not a socket fitting, then my torque is do it till tight, and then just a tinch more. Very unscientific, and wrong, but I inspect for leaks. ( I am not a paid mechanic)
