wheel bearing hub bolts

Hi,

Im in the process of changing my front axle end ujoints on my 98 xj. Below is an extract from an excellent "how to" guide from this forum. This is the bit im stuck at. Those 3 bolts described are rusted ruins - I need replacments before moving on. Does anyone know what the exact dimensions of these bolts are, so I can order them asap?. Any help greatly appreciated!.

Now we remove the three bolts holding the unit hub to the steering knuckle.
These are 13mm 12-pt bolts. Trying to use a 6-pt socket or wrench will only destroy the head of the bolt and make it worse to get them out. There isn't much room to work in there as the picture shows.

its the stupid little things like cotter pins that you forget about!. Bought some especially for the job - got those 10.9's ordered. Didnt know there were washers in there, mine are so badly rusted you cant tell. Got plenty of washers kicking about, so I should be fine?. Its gonna be fun trying to get those ruined bolts loose
