What Size Bolt Connects Lippert Gear Packs to Connecting Rod
Updated 03/30/2026 | Published 03/19/2026
Question:
What size and grade of bolt is used to connect the rod to the gear pack on the heavy duty Lippert Gear Pack LC123356. Not the bolts that hold the gear pack to the outer slide tube, the bolt that connects the two gear packs together to the connecting rod.

Hey Peter, the bolt size that connects slide out gear packs together on the connecting rod is typically a 1/4-20 bolt. Did you lose yours?

I reused my orginal bolts that were already in the old gear packs. Ibrlieve they were 1/4 20 bolts. I didn't pay attention to the grade of bolt because I figured it was already designed with that bolt and mine were fine. You should be able to see the grade by the markings on the head of one of the bolts that you have left. These replacement gear packs are great and 100 times better than orginal. You'll be happy you change them. Paul

I did not lose it, it broke (well I believe it was over torqued and snapped at the shoulder). I was able to replace it be fore the remaining half of the bolt fell out of the gear pack shaft.
