Source for Rear Cable Adjusting Nut [SOLVED]

Every 5 minute project is a broken bolt away from being a three day ordeal.

Does anyone have a source for the bugger pictured below? I **believe** it's a 46441 as pictured in the link below.

Longer story: One of the annoying things about my Taco is when you let out the e-brake there's too much slack in the line, the parking brake light stays on. Simple enough, right? Adjust at the intermediate lever. Well, those bolts were all seized up and no amount of PB Blaster, penetrating oils, heat, or colorful language is going to get them loose. I did manage to get one off but broke the end of the stud in the process. Fortunately there was enough thread to re-assemble.

I now have a new OEM rear brake cable about to go in but of course, no nuts. Tried to extract the second nut after the old cable was out and of course the stud broke off, I'm in the process of trying to drill/tap it out but I don't have a drill press so success is doubtful at this point.

As a temporary measure I can put a shim or stack of washers under a normal nut for the end one, but I'd like to replace with the original (with a buttload of anti-seize compound of course.) I can't find a reasonable source anywhere. Toyota parts online wants $17 for shipping lol . . . there is one eBay seller that claims to have it but no pic to confirm, even they want $10 for shipping.

For a stupid fat bolt. Anyone have any ideas?

For reference here is the Toyota parts online page, if you look at the illustration it's 46441 and 46441A.

search for coupling nut in the desired thread (and length):

THANK YOU! Coupling was the magic word LOL . . . . I'll go get the specs from the part and keep looking! The M8 might even be it.

 

I am sure it was a Typo you meant 3 weeks not 3 days.

Glad you figured out what you needed.

 

Heh. In this case it was 2 days, split the bolt yesterday and fixed today.

 

Then your luck is far better then mine!!

If it was me it would be 3 weeks in front of the over head door!

 

Hey @rocknbil!

Did the nut @super_white send through that link end up being the right size?

I need the same part and am having trouble finding the thread pitch.

Thanks!

 

M8x1.25 is the size for the rear cable adjustment nuts at intermediate lever

 

I don't do Amazon but found them on eBay, like @Bivouac says, they're M8 x 1.25 like a lot of small threads on Tacomas.
