Hey all,
So I'm replacing the outer LH front CV joint, but the hub bolts heads (P/no. 34201535) are fooked. Got one out by hammering a 1/2" socket on to it and applying some heat and a breaker bar. The other 2 are no-go's - heads rounded off (would like to meet the clown who fitted the last hub, in a dark alley with abovementioned breaker bar). Going to have to grind the heads off and replace all 3.
Anyway, anyone know where in the UK I can source some replacement bolts? £26 on eBay seems a bit steep for 3 bolts.

Lighthouse jeep in Diss, however iirc last time I got some from them they were around 7quid each

Jesus wept!
And I'm about 100 miles from Diss.
Bugger!
Back to Jeepey Mart then...cheers mate!

They do next day delivery....they will be the correct parts as well :icon_super:

Sorted, cheers! Bloody hell, they were tight! Had to get all medieval on them. All out and cv joint replaced.

Dumb question, but wouldn't generic 10.9 bolts of the correct length and thread pitch work? Or are the hub bolts special apart from requiring a 12-point socket?
I had my ZJ hubs off and on many times, but the bolts didn't seem unusual.

Replaced the CV joint but the noise was still there. Bit the bullet and replaced the wheel bearing as well - bought one that came with new bolts. However, a local hardware store were able to supply me with 3 high-tensile steel bolts of the same thread pitch for about £2.70.
