Angry 2004 Durango AWD 4.7l - Watts Link Center Bolt Broke

Howdi,

My rear end watts link center bolt broke, sheered right off inside the bell cover.
Needless to say my rear end is loose as hell ( get your mind out of the gutter)
getting scary to drive, i know that i will have to drill out the broken bolt inside the bell cover, so my question is what is the size of the bolt / length / diameter etc for the center mounting bolt on the watts link?
I cant find the info anywhere

Thanks!

Pull the cover, and work on it on the bench. Much easier than under the truck....... (cleaner too....) Might get lucky, and be able to twist it out with vice-grips, or some such. (if there is anything sticking out you can get a grip on.) Otherwise, if you have access to a welder, weld a nut to what's left of the bolt, and try and extract it that way. Once you have it in hand, cruise to your local hardware store, (lowes? Home Depot?) and see if you can match something up.
