Wheel hub and caliper bolts (fasteners)

bgevans · October 8, 2016

I have a 1998 GMC K1500 that I'm replacing the front wheel hubs/ rotors/ brake pads/ shocks. Some of the bolts need to be replaced due to rusting and my fumble handed attempts at removing them have ruined them. I was able to get a couple out today and feel good that I'll get the others out tomorrow.

With that moving forward I need to get some new bolts, is there somewhere I can go to find out the proper sizes/ grades/ etc.? I have searched everywhere , called my local NAPA store and the parts guy said I would have to go through the dealer? There has to be a better (and cheaper!) source. I'm sure McMaster-Carr or Bolt Depot will have what I need but what do I need?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Some parts stores should have it under brake hardware.

Thank you for your response, I have called my local Napa which was of no help saying I'd have to go to a dealer for the fasteners. I will take what I have with me to the Napa or Fastenal so I get thread pitch and length right.

I find hard to believe that there are no websites with the info, but I don't have much time to waste as cold weather is coming on and I need my truck for hunting/ winter storm travel here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

These should work for caliper bolts. You have nothing left of the hardware you took out for the other bolts/fasteners?

Dealers are probably not going to carry parts for your truck anymore due to age, but they should be able to look up in their system what the parts are supposed to be. Had to do this recently on my 96 and I called the local chevy dealer and they gladly looked up the info I needed to find some bolts that would work.
