Does anyone know the official description for the 4 x nuts which hold the rear brake drum on... they look like m12 but cant tell what the thread is. Car is SJ50 N/T 1986.

I've got 2 x stripped nuts and so need to order some more over the phone and get them delivered as cant go get them!

No local wreckers have any SJ50's to scavenge off.

Need nuts ASAP as car out of action until the wheel can be stuck on properly.

same as wheel nuts,U bolts etc. M12x1.25

[gympzook]

Your right... the nuts just thinner so has smaller OD...

dont worry about the smaller OD that is a jap size and is hard to find in Aussie.
the standard nut will fit, grab a handful for ya spares kit.

yep, get 10 Nylocs and 10 Flat washers and your set for another 10 years

[shep]

thats the 10/10/10 rule

Hopefully Porters has a nut for the job.

Thanks guys.

Casually bringing a 88 sierra tintop back to rwc, while replacing pads and cylinders i stripped a nut for the brake drum while putting it all back together. Found this thread , could not find M12x1.25 nylock's and ended up with high tensile M12x1.25 instead.



Using new nuts;
5 out of 8 go on no problem.
1 won't tighten, it sounds like it's jumping over the bolt thread ?
2 do up but have play ? ie. when completely on the bolt but not tight it wiggles only slightly but it does.

Question time - can i replace the bolt bits ? if so how ? can i do it ' shep tech ' style with a BFH ?
