Swivel pin bolt size

Galladog · Oct 29, 2019

Evening all, my TD5 lower swivel pin has excessive play in it so I ordered a rebuild kit.
The lower swivel pin bolts part BH108061M are rusty as hell so I thought I would replace these, the manual says they are M8 but gives no length, anyone know the length ?
Also are they any type of special bolt or just standard M8 ?

Cheers Galladog

Whip one out to check the length then put it straight back , won't do any harm.

Not sure about grade of bolt, but the go right through housing. I might have some on shelf in garage! Watching Barca game, 15 mins until half time. Will have a look then.

35mm

10.9 grade

Reckon mine are M10

If you're taking one out, make it a top one.

Was letting him down gently with the M10 and his manual saying M8

@Galladog what manual have you got?

Galladog · Oct 29, 2019

Thanks for the replies guys.
The manual I have is the genuine parts catalogue ( STC9021CC )
Diagram E22 part no 14, BH108061M is listed as " Bolt-hexagonal head M8".

Hmmm, could be a Haynes misprint?
Edit
Oo , sorry. googled that number hand Gaynes came up. Missed the bit where you said it was genuine parts catalogue. That'll be the 1664

To be fair, I was watching football.
Anyway, don't they say 'every day is a school day'! So, when is a man to drink?

Gonna dismantle the swivel tommorow, find out the size then.

Fair enough, I went a bit Mackers and enjoyed a couple of Baileys watching some new-fangled “RugbyX” mullarkey. Should have watched some footy instead.

No. Not unless you count 'drink as much as you can as fast as you can', every time ye gaan oot

Sorry I got all confused never read your post properly Yeah the bottom pin bolts are M8 still 10.9 I believe as part of the steering and suspension.The tops are M10 and the bolts that connect the swivel to axle are M10. If your in Alloa it may be worth giving Gemm 4x4 a call they might have them in stock and they are only in Larbert,Falkirk. 01324 557735 is their number.

I won’t be in a hurry to see it again. The concept probably sounded good on paper, but in reality it was awful.
Ended up watching a documentary on the 40s/50s boxer Freddie Mills. Fascinating story and quite sad towards the end.
