Hey Folks
Does anyone know the size of the bolt (metric I am sure as I am Canadian), or where I can find it, for the front wheel bearing assembly. There are 3 of these on the flange on my 05 Dak 4x4. I twisted off 2 as I was removing the hub assembly to change the growling bearing ($%#@!#@$). The curse of doing night time work.
It looks like about 2" x 1/2" fine thread......but I bet it is metric and need the correct size.

Please Help......truck is out of commision till I find them, and the dealer will probably charge a small fortune for these grade 8's, so might be better off going to the local store that sells 8's.

 

I just looked them up in the Mopar parts manual, they do not list the size

 

You are looking for the bolts labeled #1??

I think they were a 14... not positive though.

 

Thanks for the input guys.
At the crack of dawn this morning I drove (wifes car) to the closest dealar that had some bolts on hand...bout 45 km away. The bolt looks like it should be an OEM bolt anyway, and not cobble something together. So for a heart stopping $3.40 ea....I replaced all three and I should be good to go.

thanks for the replies and help.

Happy truckin
Matt

 

And the size verdict is? I am going to Photo shop the bolt size into the service manual PDF that I have.

 

Size was never mentioned (as they had it right there and I was not matching it up). Even the counter guy did not have the size of the bolt in his manual. He says that Chrysler is bad for not listing the sizes of fasteners that they use.
I have one laying on my bench, as I replaced all 3, (one did not break). I will try to measure it up, and match the threads. I will get back to you.

 

Size is M14-1.5 x x 50
Has a 30mm collar (1.25")
Socket = 21mm or 13/16" (later is snugger....perfect for shearing off head if really rusted in)
Grade 10.9 (grade 8)

Hope this helps

Matt
