Part number bolt for swivel pin
It's springtime and time for some overhauls!
Could anyone confirm the part number or the dimensions of the bolts holding the upper swivel pin on a Disco 1 with ABS? I would like to have my spare parts on hand before I start taking the assembly apart.
I found:
FTC3455 (torx, countersunk)for the bottom pin
BX110076M AND BX110071M it's sometimes identified as a caliper bolt or used on the non-abs housings, both being M10x35 hex bolts. Did not see it confirmed on any exploded view of the abs tyoe swovel housing: bolt is shown but never identified.
Also BX110076M is slightly more expensive so I would assume it's a higher grade.
Thanks for any hint.

Top pin bolts on the axle I just worked on and the one I replaced used a regular bolt head, and not a reverse torx bolt. The brake lines can be in the way for using a socket on them, and the one towards the rotor cover is a bit close to the sheet metal.
The bolts for the brake calipers are the reverse torx bolts. The bolts on the axle flanges are also similar to the reverse torx but you can use a 12 pt box wrench on them. I had a set of box ratchet wrenches which worked great! they can't be put on otr removed when the bolts are almost all the way out, but you can remove the last few turns and start them by hand with the wrench on the bolt.
The axle flange gasket only fits one way, and it can be put on backwards, the bolt holes won't line up. Same with the retainer for the swivel ball seal
