    I need the nut size for the fan clutch on a 2003 6 cylinder Tacoma Pre-Runner. They fit a 12mm wrench. Do auto parts stores have these?

    If it's oddball, probably not, if it's a normal 12mm nut, sure, also most decent hardware stores with a good nuts and bolts selection will have them also. Just get the correct grade and not some grade 1 quality crap.

    4 run, 2 don't
    You would go to any place they sell hardware, not auto parts.

    It'll be metric, M10.

    I'd get one in each thread pitch (so you'll buy 2 as there are 1 of 2 possible variants you'll need, 1.25 or 1.5). That easy.
