I did not replace them on the full rebuild, but I did make sure they went back to the same location. From what the haynes repair manual claimed, you shouldn't replace them. I asked a mechanic about this and he said the same thing because the the threads already work together fine so why risk putting in a different thread? Seemed logical enough for me.
