How do I know what size wrench I need?

To calculate the wrench size needed, you must first measure your bolt. Take the diameter of the bolt, and multiply by 1.5. This calculation and conversion factor is valid for either metric or standard bolt sizes. The resulting number will be the size of the wrench you need to adjust the bolt properly.

A matching nut would be labeled M10, which also doesn’t require a thread pitch since it’s a course thread fastener.
