What size are the front hub bolts?
Specifically the 3 that hold the wheel hub to the spindle.
I think they are all 18mm but one was so rusty last time I had to use a 17mm to get it off. Would like to replace all three this weekend when I replace the hub (again).
anyone know the sizes? I assume any hardened bolt of the same size from the local hardware store will work?

been there, done that..
12x1.75 50mm long Hardened bolts. The originals are 18mm hex head, I too needed to use a 17mm to take off a few of mine. My dealer did not have the bolts in stock but I was able to buy the bolts at a local (very good) hardware store

I am just curious because I just replaced a hub last year and it is getting noisy again after only 15k miles. I used Autozone, but I think I overtightened the center nut to 123 ft#s when I believe it should be just 103ft#s.
Cheers

I don't remember the brand but it was from the local auto place. I tq'd the nut to 100 lbs. Found out later it should be 103 but doubt the 3lbs is what the problem is :-)
I have less than 1000 miles on the new hub.

Thanks for the info. Maybe someone will figure why hubs wear so quick. Anyway happy wrenching this weekend.
