I have one further question that frankly is really pissing me off.

Help, I'm really frustrated.

I don't remember the exact size but I bought the same bolt for my 4Runner at either Home Depot or Lowes, it's been a while so I can't say which store it was but they both should have it, I just took the broken bolt with me to the get the correct diameter and thread using their bolt/nut size display, for the length I just got the one that I thought was right by measuring the depth of the threaded hole as best I could.

Yea, I 've done this a few times...my truck is my only vehicle & I can't ride bikes anymore so this is a bit of a PITA right now.
