I finally bought the trailer hitch for my Solara and it came with

SAE bolts aren't this confused.


They certainly are. What size socket do you use on a 1/4" bolt? The


1/4" No?


Apparently you have very little, if any, experience with wrenches and bolts.


That's not it, but I do have a very bad memory for numbers. Even 5

No.
