m10x1.25 or 1.50 can't remember which. power steering pump bracket bolts from a 4.0 are a perfect fit and are long enough to bolt an engine to a stand

What a coincidence!

You're dealing with bolt size and I'm working with a missing nut.

As you may have seen in another thread I'm trying to replace my steering gear box and had some time today so thought I would give it another shot.

In an attempt to get the upper half of the steering shaft off I lost a nut and when I found a hardware store with the right size the person behind the counter said it didn't matter that automotive nuts and bolts are black and the ones he has are silver. I thought automotive nuts were hardened.

Am I going to die from using this nut the hardware store sold me on my steering shaft?
