Default Need help finding the right bolts

Does anyone know the size of the two bolts that hold the rear center section to the subframe?

There are actually 3 bolts - 1 at the front passenger side, and 2 in the rear. http://www.wholesalegmpartsonline.co...rimLevel=25926

Look at the descriptions for part #1 and #4 - same part number, M14-2.0 x 130.

I think that bolt hits the spare tire tub so it can't just fall out if it loosens up.

I have no idea what happened to it but it's gone. I stuck a screw driver in the hole thinking that it was broken off and the screw driver went through. Upper left bolt missing
Passenger side

I think it's a 21mm bolt. Is that part diagram right? It said m14x2x130...

Yes, you have to lower the subframe.

The size of the bolt head has nothing to do with the dimensional specs of the bolt. As stated in the parts diagram, it's a 14mm-2.0 x 130mm bolt.

AAIIC is right on!

Do get a 21mm gear wrench when installing/removing those bolts....not much room up in there. It makes your life much easier working on these cars.

I got it out. It was pretty straight forward.
