YC: It's a dab harsh to say that Haynes talk cobblers - they can't know a reader's level of mechanical understanding and thus can only recommend the route to a certain and safe outcome for a fix, particularly considering this is a safety consideration.
I've re-used brake parts on many occasions, but then I don't need to look in a manual to be told what to do, and most importantly I know what's safely re-usable and what's not - anyone who needs a manual to know what to do probably doesn't have the necessary level of experience to make such a judgement, thus recommending new parts is the only responsible course.
