I have been killing my hands doing the same thing today. I have read every thread on here and it appears that the consensus is 5/8 11. I bought two 5/8 11 bolts today (2") and cut them down to 3/4". Smoothed out the edges and then used a thread file to finish them off. A nut goes right on the bolts. I got the one in on the passenger side but it will only go in about 1/2 way then stops. I have been trying on and off all day to get the driver's side in and it WILL NOT START!!!!!!!! I agree it seems to be too big. Just for Sh..s and giggles I am going to get a 9/16 tomorrow and see what it feels like. Somebody on here must have been successful at this and can provide the master knowledge that we all so desire.

update: making my own tap with my new cut off wheel and a 5/8 bolt FTW! hopefully that works out
