Hi, All. So I've done a outer cv boot replacement. I ordered the kit from Pelican Parts. They forgot to send the replacement bolt...
Old bolt is a hex-bolt. 27mm. Easy-peesy.
Went to the dealer, the replacement bolt and the one sent to me by Pelican is a 12-pt bolt. The new bolt is def not 27mm.
What size is it?
Are these bolts interchangeable? Is the 12-pt an upgraded product? Since the bolts are completely different, do I have to change the bolt on the other side or will it be ok to have the new 12-pt and the hex on the other?
What are the torque specs for the 12-pt bolt bc I know they are different than the hex?
Im really not interested in over-torquing this bolt considering where it is.
