New wheel hub bolts?!

My original bolt heads were in terrible shape when I first changed mine. Some options that helped to get them all off included:
1. Clean them with a wire brush to get rid of loose corrosion
2. Use a 1/2 socket instead of a 13mm - slightly tighter.
3. Use a approx 13mm socket extractor (a socket that bites into the head when turned counter clockwise, and can be bought at any parts store, by Irwin typically).
I used the 4wheelparts.com bolts when replacing.

On a side note these bolts lasted all the way until I sold the beast after an accident in 2015, out lasted a few hub assemblies and a lot of abuse lol.

Well id just like to let everyone know that i ended up finding bolts, with the size of m12x90x1.75
12 being diameter, 90 length, and thread of 1.75, got em at napa for a total of just over 3$
I have the full cast rotor, so im not sure if the hole sizes between the cast/composite hubs are diff, but anywho these worked for me and i just wanted to share!

Doesn't mean that the information isn't right, if you take the few minutes to breeze through the other posts in this thread, there is mention of another size, which was documented before this issue.

I took the time. Wasn't the first time I saw the incorrect size. Someone else said m8, 125...that is also incorrect. I have a 99 sport with full cast...same as him. No reason they aren't the same size other than it's wrong.
