When and how to replace bolts
I was enjoying the process of removing the battery box today and noticed that all of the bolts/nuts I removed were badly rusted. I am a bit concerned that the next time I need to use them they will no longer work properly. That said, I have a few questions:
* How do you decide when to replace a nut/bolt?
* How do you get the measurements?
* Where do you get them (I don't feel like spending $25/nut at the dealer)?
* How do you decide when to replace a nut/bolt?

How do you decide when to replace a bolt? are you serious? Maybe you just didn't word you question the right way. Basically, if you feel like changing a bolt, go to the home depot or lowe's and bring the bolt you want to replace. then replace it. If you really want to be exact, buy a caliper for measuring and measure it. No offense, but it's not rocket science.

I'm pretty sure that the bolts holding your batt. box on are being used all the time?? Holding the battery? Somebody correct me because I'm not sure!!! My little 14 year old brain cannot process this much common sense!!!!!!

That said, my concern with replacing them is more in getting the proper size and grade.

People acting like this are the reason why some members quit coming back.
Anyways, your local home depot or lowes should have what you're looking for. Definitely go to the mom and pop shops if you can find one.
