I need to source a couple new wheel bearing assembly bolts for my 96. One I had to cut off after it seized up halfway out and another got rounded off after an hour of impacting it. What is the size and thread pitch of the bolts? What grade should I get?

Off the top of my head, it's an M12-1.75 grade 10.9. Probably about 72mm long, shouldered and flanged.

Best bet as I suggested elsewhere is just go buy a junkyard knuckle and (if needed) install new hub/bearing and ball joint in that one on a bench and then swap the knuckles. Or at the very least you'll have a source for the bolts and a spare knuckle.

Yea I do plan on doing that when I get some freaking down time. Just wanted to get the info on the bolts just in case.
