Default bolt sizes??? lost a part on the trail.

so after some rompin around in the mud

my friend pointed out I had some things missing

seems I lost my 3 link bracket. So, I decided to do a little inspection since I've been muckin about in mud, dirt, and clay.

let my buddy take the show and do the hard work.
was not liking what he found.

the bearings were nasty and in dire need of cleaning.
decided to see what the inside of the axle case looked like,

so I cleaned her out and figured it would be ok to use bearing grease inside there to fend off water and help keep dirt to the outside edges of the case???

but now I have a 4 link but only have 2 bolts, I need the 2 that mount on the outer edges of the 4 link bracket but don't know what size they are???
so I really packed the grease in as well as in the outer cone thing on each end of the axle to try to make a nice barrier . tell me I didn't screw up and need to take it out??? so while I wait to buy bolts gonna do the front axle and break down the trans too, what should I lube the tranny with and how much? remember I'm in FL and play in water a lot!
