This crankshaft pulley bolt is too big! This crankshaft pulley bolt is too small!

Don't worry, guys, I just gorilla-glued it back together!



Someone here told me to go to Ace, but 22mm is challenging. I once spent a ridiculous amount of time trimming threaded rod with a brand-new hacksaw.

I do not want to do that again!

I felt that the guy at Ace was wasting my time until he recommended using a washer as a spacer. He still wanted me to buy both, though.

The problem is that the highest Ace has is 8.8 and the broken one has a 10 on it. As far as I can tell, there is only a 10.9 (or they round up from 9.9? ) and that is 30% stronger than an 8.8.

O'Reilly's has a 20mm 10.9 bolt, but it is not flange-head, and it is $9.49, which is exactly what Majestic charges for shipping for their $2.77 bolt.

Napa has two that are exactly the right size, one is 79¢ and the other is $1.29, but both are 8.8.

Okay. Lowe's has a three-pack of 25mm grade 10.9 bolts for $2.18, so while I feel it is 2/3rds a waste because I would only use one bolt, it is less than $1.50.

Also, someone on Imgur pointed out that Honda uses the same fasteners on many vehicles for many years. I looked at Honda Parts Now and they used this bolt on all of their engines for at least four years. I think the one junkyard had three older Accords, but maybe they had other Hondas. They open at 08.
