broken hub bolt

[xj-shark]

ok, so I had a bad hub and got off what I thought would be the hard part, the axle nut, but when taking the 3 hub bolts out I broke one. While searching I found they are 12X1.75, can I use what they have at the hardware store or do I need to call the stealership. TIA

I doubt the hardware bolts are high grade, you could try a nut/bolt house for the proper grade. Grade (8) Six marks on the head or 10.9 for metric.

made the 1 hr trip to the dealership, got out for $6. Thanks.

Whenever I go to the junkyard, I pick up a few spares.

ive got a set of 12x1.75 80mm long grade 8.8's holdin my hubs on for the last few months without any probs. they just barely go all the way through the hub, but still get all the threads so im not worried.
