CV joint bolt thread size

[bnam]

What's the thread size on the 6 socket bolts on each joint? The ones on one side are about 1/2" longer than they need to be, so would like to get shorter ones, but I don't have them out yet to take to stoer and compare. 10.9 grade right?

Standard metric, M8x1,25 for stock ´02. For most E21 M10x1,5.

 

And I think they are 10.9. Not sure.

Thanks!  The ones I removed were 12.9, so will see if I can get similar.

Some pics from my rebuild and install.  I ended up purchasing the kit from WuN (~$30 for ea OE kit) and was surprised to have get it within 3 days from Germany which let me do the install the same week.

Did the Walloth & Nesch boot repair kit (A33211207036) include the CV dust cap and boot flange as shown in the photo on thier website? A kit I bought from another source did not. BTW, I use 12.9 bolts for this application (plus loctite and safety wire, but then I am paranoid...)

Yes, it includes the CV dust cap, the boot flange with boot already installed on the new flange, small end clamp, concave spring washer, and a new spring clip (and this clip has holes on the end and is easier to install/remove) + the grease.

 

I believe this is the same as the OEM set (which is also Lobro I think).

Thanks, gents! Great news, good to know I can still source these parts.
