When you put a new disc on it's best to also use new bolts with thread-lock, you can use your old bolts if they came out ok and the Allen bolt heads haven't gone sloppy but new ones don't add too much to the cost and I've always thought that bolts that have been heated are weaker which is not a good idea on the most important part of your bike.
All good stuff thanks. I'm going to enlist the help of a car mechanic mate with a gas bottlle, lets hope it's a straightforward job.

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
