OT- My 2000 F250, need help finding bolts!

[ford4x4fun]

There are 4 bolts that are threaded on both ends that thread into the wheel hub assembly, and the steering knuckle. Does anyone know where to order these from. The old ones are stuck in the old hub assembly, and I have to pretty much mutilate them to get them out. Thanks in advance for all help!

Have you tried the dealer?

They are closed today, and my truck is sitting in the driveway without a wheel!

Billy, On my 2WD 03' Expedition (yeah it might be a lot different) the hub / wheel bearing assembly / and studs are one $300+ part. Don't know about your truck though.

Yeah same thing, but mine didn't come with new bolts to mount it to the steering knuckle. My truck was run in North East Ohio, so things are a little rustier and corroded than usual. I got one bolt to come out of the old hub without ruining it, after about 3 hours of fighting. The next one I ended up getting out, but I mutilated it, even using a torch like you would do with stuck lugs. So now I have a giant I sore in my front yard just taking up space. I will have to get with the dealer tomorrow some time.

Might be worth trying the electrolocis rust removal. It's working wonders on stuck bolts on my lathe. 1tbsp of baking soda per gallon of water put the part in a plastic tub, hook the negative side of your battery charger to the part and the positive to a chuck of stainless steel and let it cook for a few hours.
