I got a bunch of them from a junkyard. Apparently only the dealership have them but I'm pretty sure u might be able to find them on eBay or parts houses.

Go to a hardware store and get 5/16-24 thread bolts. Then you don't have to worry about stripping the 8mm bolt head when it doesn't wanna come out.

dealer is the right place to go, the bolts are special and regular bolts won't work right (IMO), rusty old junkyard bolts are likely to snap when you need them out, buy new ones you'll be happy

The small cap is nice for gear wrenches. Regular bolts have to use the open end of the wrench because you can't get the closed end on it. The nylock patch is nice too, don't have to use loctite everytime.

Then you broke a driveshaft and stole one of my bolts.

I've used my factory bolts, junkyard bolts, and standard grade 8 bolts at one time or another for this application. I've never broken one or had one fail. Grade 8 bolts will work just fine.

I bought the bag of 50 after I got one from you.

Mainly because the ones I had were all different sizes. Now they're all the same size.
