Default Acceptable to re-use the aluminum AN fittings after they have been over torqued?

Fixing some cracked and leaking flared fuel lines off the Fuel Selector Valve from being over torqued during valve replacement last year.

I have some new 5052 3/8" tubing and in the process of making the replacement lines.

I'm wondering if after passing a visual inspection if it's acceptable to re-use the aluminum AN fittings after they have been over torqued? Or just replace them?

Thanks

Tim

They may be OK but in the grand scheme of things its a small price to pay. Replace them.
