dont do it if you're uncomfortable.

forgot to mention this and i will update the DIY, but use Grade5 or Grade8 screws/bolts for this DIY.

Grade5: most automotive applications - unless numerically stamped, has these lines on the bolt head that looks like a "Y."

Grade8: automotive/tractor use for heavy duty - has more lines and looks like a astrisk mark. I use this type for when i need to replace bolts for suspension work. This is what I used in my car.

Grade2: commonly used for house hold (soft) - has no marking on the bolt head.

here's a nice pictorial link:
