The bolt head is 14mm, but I don't know the thread size and overall length of these bolts. Are both mounting bolts the same length? Are the front bolts the same as the rear? I'll be doing the fronts when the rears are done.

Thanks for helping the new guy!
Did you ever solve this problem? Did you try a penetrating lubricant like PB Blaster to help break the bolts free?
