Bolt Size Used for Weldnuts for Installing Hitch on a Chevy Equinox

Question:

am VERY interested in hitch for 2011 Equinox. Am a little nervous about the holes being possibly rusted havent really checked. I wanted to know if you could send me 1 bolt to do the Test threading into the 6 holes after i clean them to be CERTAIN that the bolts will not be an issue before I purchase the hitch.

What we can do is provide you with the bolt size that is used to install the part # 36408 that you referenced and you can find a tap at a local hardware store to clean the threads out if you think they are too corroded.

The bolt size is M12 CL8.8.

I attached an install video and couple help links for cleaning weldnuts for you to check out as well.
