Ok, so I was working on my Ranger in Auto Class. simple enough, right? Wrong.
My teacher and I agreed that this is the first time the front has probably had maintenance done on it since 1986; with that being said, it's pretty ugly.
We were taking out the Spindle and replacing the Bearings, seals, etc. I accidentally happened to snap a Spindle bolt while removing the nut. The bolt snapped in half.
My auto teacher called around town to stores such as Napa, Oreilly Auto Parts, and Advanced (UGH) and came up with nothing. He told me to go to the Ford dealership and see if they can order me a set of Spindle Bolts.
This is where I need help. After doing some research after school today, I learned that my front axles are Dana 28's. It's Friday night, Dealership is closed and I had to work after classes, so I've had no time to go talk to the Dealership.
Does anyone know where I could buy a Spindle Bolt? Maybe a set of 5? How about a guesstimated price of one bolt / a set of 5? Attached picture shows the state of the Ranger (passenger side) brake setup, without the Spindle and such. The bolt I broke is right underneath the Axle, for referrence to what I'm talking about.
Any input is appreciated, even if it is constructive criticism. Thank you!
