To find the correct size:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source. It might show a diagram or list the specifications.
2. Use a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your specific year and engine will provide detailed information, including diagrams and bolt sizes.
3. Remove a bolt and measure it: This is the most direct method, but be sure to note the thread pitch as well (e.g., 1/2"-13 or 9/16"-12). Take it to a hardware store to match it.
Do not guess. Using the wrong size bolt can cause serious damage to your starter, engine block, or both.
