Put the brake system back together; I KNOW the yoke and slide bolts are use-once items but the Valdez is going nowhere and I'd rather have it on 4 paws than three paws and an axle stand.

Good to hear you made some good progress - for hub cover i'm assuming you mean the dust cap that simply levers out from the centre with a large flat screwdriver or similar - alternatively a few delicate taps around the circumference of the dust cap with a screwdriver/chisel/punch away from the hub usually shifts it.
*** EDIT *** Mark beat me to it and included pretty pictures to show the same as i was saying. :thumbs_up:
Slide bolts i believe are reusable, yoke bolts are only single-use only because they are patch bolts. Clean the threads of the old thread locking compound, refit both so the caliper is secure then remove one at a time, add a few drops of Threadlock (i use Loctite 243) then refit to the recommended torque (100Nm/74lbft rings a bell but would have to check), move on to the other once the first is tight and the caliper won't move and repeat, job done.
