All I need is to know the dimensions and thread pitch of the bolt. I am not going to buy an oem one, I don't need your opinion on how it's better to buy one from another corolla, or from a Toyota dealer.
All I need to know is the length, the thread pitch, and the diameter. I believe the diameter is 12mm (which includes the width for the threads). Someone HAS to know this.

Looks like the Toyota part 90119-12314 is $4.26 retail and $3.07 discounted online (before shipping).
If it's the correct dimensions, you can get an M12x1.25x45mm grade 10.9 flange bolt from belmetric for $3.14 (before shipping). That doesn't include the washer.
If the OP or anyone else can post a cheaper source for this bolt it could save some people some serious $$$ in the future.

Yeah, but you gotta ask yourself....why would someone come on here and ask their first question, in THAT way, with THOSE strange restrictions? I'm not going to pretend to understand the motivations of trolls (or worse), but I can spot one a mile off!
I like to use a flanged bolt for this application. Also M12x1.25 superfine theading isn't a common metric bolt, those are either M12x1.5 fine or M12x1.75 coarse.
Hella has a pretty small presence here in the US, but they're big in Russia. I know the internal Hella 3 projector is very popular in Russia, as well as the replica Hella 3R. Lighting enthusiasts in the US love Koito, for good reason!
Wow, first off I'm a girl. Second, I knew exactly what I wanted to find out. Third, I knew there'd be "trolls" telling to order one from Toyota. I tried to save myself the trouble of dealing with those who felt the need to tell me how to handle it, but I see that failed.
I searched the Internet for DAYS trying to find the bolt size.
To those who responded swiftly and with accurate info, thank you a million times. I fixed my Corolla using the perfect size bolt (12*1.25). To those who are bullshitting on my thread, get a life.

Maybe he does not have time to sit around and wait for the OEM bolt to arrive in the mail and needs something to install in the meantime. Like the car is down right now and his only option is the local Ace hardware. Since there is already a built-in anchor that keeps the crank pulley from turning, it is not real likely the bolt is gonna have much stress either way. Then go ahead and order the bolt and install it once it arrives.
Another option would be snag a good one from the junkyard (but be ready to somehow rig the crank pulley into place, that bolt does not come out easy) At least in such a case, you do not have to worry as much about damage since it is a junkyard car. That is, if you can catch a ride there. Take the old one for comparison, lest there was possibly more than one size (stupid crap like that DOES happen and is real frustrating)
But yeah if one is doing this just to save a couple bucks, it probably would not be worth it.
Okay so basically the old bolt wiggled itself out because of some wicked bad vibrations from my bad motor mounts. After wiggling out part of the way, the tension from the belt combined with the wobble of the crankshaft pulley caused the bolt to snap in half. I removed the rest of the old bolt by drilling a hole and using the appropriate size "speed out" bit attached to my socket wrench to get good torque on it. (drill was way too weak) the length of the new bolt is 40mm with two thick galvanized washers. The bolt seemed maybe a couple mm too long, but I got a very tight fit of nearly 87ft/lbs of torque. The bolt I used is metric class 8.8. This is temporary until I can get the proper class 10.9.
Thanks. Motor mounts wouldn't make it shake loose, likely it was not properly torqued some time before this incident. If bad motor mounts made crank bolts fall out of these cars then there would be A LOT more posts about missing crank bolts. Lucky for you the keyway in the balancer and crankshaft weren't damaged!
Doh! I bet that was one hell of a clunk. Seen more than a few balancers that have spit off the outer ring where the belt rides, in person and here on the forums. When you install the new dealer bolt apply some medium strength Loc Tite to the threads in addition to proper torque just to be double safe!
Emilia, I understand wanting specific info and not advice on where to get such a part. Completely understood. However, there's a nice way of saying it. Quit the attitude. Consider this a warning. This is a very helpful community, and as you can tell, we're happy to provide info. We don't need negativity without reason.
