    The bolts that hold the stock "skid" plate on are the correct size.

    bolt is 8mm x 1.25 x 50....2 for $1.78 at Lowes..... 1for $5.98 at Toyota.... Lowes worked great.... spray around Hub and lug nut stud with good penetrating oil first then use the Jack bolts don't even try it without them save yourself a lot of grief..... watch a YouTube video on this topic first and you will be at Pro

    I always back the adjusters completely off first.

    Those bolts will strip real quick only a few threads in the drum.
