Sheared Front Case Bolt

I have looked at every manual and article I have and can not find the specifications/size of the bolts for the front case on an M122. I sheared one off. I guess from over tightening ‍ I was using a torque wrench set to 25 and it let go right after the click. Anyway I have my extractor kit I just need to know the exact size of the bolts so I can replace them. TIA.

Can't you just remove another one and measure it?

Exactly. Plan on replacing them all because you're not likely to match it. I've read the torque spec is 20 lb. ft.

Yeah, I’ve read 20, 23, 23-25lbs. They are hex flange bolts and they seem to be M8x1.25 but 60mm is too long and 50mm seems to be a few threads too short. Looks like going to have to cut the 60’s

My local Fastenal store was a great resource for metric bolts during a project last winter.

Yeah, I’m in Hawaii (Oahu). Very limited options.

Damn, that's tough. Good luck man.

Edit - maybe Amazon?
Amazon.com: m8 1.25 60mm

Try Ebay as well. I’ve been able to find quite a few irregular sized fasteners on there.

I've seen stainless steel bolt replacement for the M122 on ebay

Did you ever find the bolts you needed?
