Crankshaft bolt size and type

[chrism3784]

My crankshaft bolt is pretty much rounded. I'm going to have a mechanic use a bolt extractor kit to get it off. I need a new bolt. Anyone know the size and thread type of that bolt, or where I could find one. The autopart stores dont seem to be a big help.

Post up in the Want to Buy section. It's not a standard bolt. The ****** is designed to cover the entire snout of the crank pulley.

I would not be trying to use a generic bolt.

Alternative to bolt extractor that does not involve drilling is to weld a short bolt onto the top of the rounded off head. Then you have a new hex head to wrench on. Use impact wrench capable of 200 ft-lb to bang it loose.
