    Call your favorite Toyota dealer. The folks there should be able to tell you.

    Did that yesterday. Guy told me if he had the old computer software he could of done it, but with the new latest and greatest program I was out of luck. They didn’t have the bolt either, so I would of had to order one. I guess I could call some of the local dealerships and see if they might know. Thanks for your idea though, I appreciate it.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    What is the diameter of the hole

    You can measure the depth

    Thread pitch is going to be 1.25 it is either going to be M8 or M10

    Someone has to have an engine apart .

    My JIS* bolt bin comes in so handy .

    *Japanese Industrial Standard

    Even if Toyota Could find the bolt all they would have is the part#
