Torsion Bar Key Bolt Bearing Info
2003 Q-Cab 4x4 4.7
Installing key lift. The old keys are rusted up and can’t get the adjustment bolt broke loose. Even carried it to the truck accessory shop and they couldn’t get it either.
May wind up just torching or grinding the bolt head off. I have a source for the adjustment bolts but after looking at the drawing it also shows a bearing which has been discontinued. It’s probably just a standard size but not really sure. The local dodge dealership wasn’t any help with dimensions on it. It’s Mopar part# 4014100 item #12 on the attached image.
Does anyone have any info on it? Input welcome!!
thanks

Find a way to get the bearing out without too much damage.
use a micrometers and calipers to get measurements.
Call timken or any other good bearing company with the measurements and see if they have something with the right dimensions.
You'd be surprised how many bearings are out there for other vehicles that no one knows are the same sizes as another bearing for another vehicle

It was still in decent shape so I reused it. Good luck with the key change out if that’s what you are doing. With no more lift than what I got out of it if I had to do it over again I probably wouldn’t do it. Didn’t get much more out of than my stock keys.
