Best place for used parts

My next door neighbor is in a jam. He needs the tensioner nut and bolt for both the power steering pump and the alternator. I've seen several websites posted here on TW for buying used parts. Can someone help me out with a couple.

thanks in advance

 

Local junkyard

 

I mean...pretty easy?

Nuts and bolts each brand new shouldn't sell for more than $2-4 bucks each, even from a Toyota dealer.

I wouldn't buy those sorts of parts used.

But if you really had to, ebay, facebook marketplace (cars parted out), KSL, craigslist, pick n pulls, etc.

Napa and a few other stores can get those new parts pretty quickly too.

 

They are small enough you don't need to "buy" them from the junkyard.

 

Are the tensioner bolts and nuts completely missing from said neighbor's truck, that they can't be matched up somewhere local?

 

Thanks for all the reply's I gave him the carparts.com info. There are no Tacoma's or 4-runners in any junkyards around here. I called Pull a Parts in Winston Salem, and they said they haven't seen either vehicle in over 2 years. Would most likely have to go over towards the coast or even out of state.

 

no, the threads are all galled up. He had to cut one of them off.

 

He sold used parts to make ends meet
Covered with grease from his head to his feet
Cussin’ the sweat and the Texas heat
And the skeeters

 

I have been replacing mine that fail with M8 x1.25 all thread and weld on a nut No need to wait for parts.

if i did not have the correct bolts on hand.

It just puts tension on the belt .
