#32 comes out with the hub, #15 is underneath the hub and doesn't come out with it.

Whilst it's good practice to replace them I doubt there'd be anything wrong with them or that you'd get any leaks if you leave them, on the other hand it's cheap insurance.

Make sure you use some sealant on the clutch basket bolts (if you're removing it?) or oil might seep through the threads.

According to the manual of the early bikes it states that blue thread lock should be used for the basket fixings.

As an aside for cheap insurances- it may be worth swapping out the pressure plate bearing and fitting a new one for the tenner or so it costs for a decent quality new one.

Remember they are C3 clearance when ordering from a bearing supplier.

It does, however threebond was not available then - you don't need a threadlocker, those 8 bolts are not coming udone but oil could leak through the threads. I suppose threadlock would stop oil anyway so either is good.
