Harmonic balancer bolt size?

87 f150 4.9l, I lost the bolt for the harmonic balancer. Anyone know the exact size of that bolt so I can order one?

Anything less and I can almost guarantee it'll snap off, and you'll have a fun time with that...

I bet that is interesting stuff!


Yeah, I remember the days when I didn't know. Bolts were bolts.

I got all new hardware to swap my intake/ exhaust to studs.

For some reason it waited until I was all done, and then snap snap snap.
I think 4 or 5 broke off at the head. Lol

Fun times. Can't imagine doing it with the crank pulley bolt.
