The FAA, as you probably all know or can guess has a rule for everything.  Most
are conservative.  Their rule on reusing self locking nuts is that if you can
thread them on by hand don't reuse them.  They also say that at least three full
threads must be showing after the nut is fully tightened (new or old).  I like
the stainless steel self locking nuts myself.
