05+ hub hardware
anybody know where I can find the allen bolts that go through the face of the hub lock? I tried a couple online parts breakdowns but they didn't identify them. Also is there any kind of gasket that goes between the hub lock and the hub face? I know it has o-rings, but having trouble judging from crappy parts blow ups.

edit:
I just opened up the boxes with my new manual locking hubs in them. They came with brand new o-rings and I guess the gasket is mated to the back of the flange so not seperate. I found a parts diagram but it only sells this as a "kit". Anybody just know the size of the damn allen bolts so I can go to the hardware store?

Well first thing they're torx head. Next, I'm not surprised no one knows what size they are - it's not something that you replace frequently. I've had mine out and I'm sure it's something you could get from a good hardware store but the only thing I could give you is the length and the diameter. I don't have a thread gauge. If that's good enough, let me know and I'll try to take one out tonight for you.

I have reused mine several times. I take my hubs off atleast once a year, clean the grease out, and clean the mechanism, re grease everything and reinstall. It look's as though there is a gasket between the hub and flange (mine are mostly gone).
Anyway's I reuse my bolts! This weekend, I will make new gasket's. Good ol cereal box cardboard!

PSD...How about your local Ford dealer or the off road 4WD vendors? IMO anything in a hardware or big box store these days isn't going to be the same quality as the OEM...(read hardware, big box store = offshore inferior non-graded and or unsafe hardware).

Sorry, dealer didn't get done w/ my truck today - hopefully they finish it in the morning. Unless one of the others can measure one sooner.
