You can call Nat at: one eight hundred, three,eight, eight - four, four, one, eight.
You need to specify year,make and model of your automatic and you can see some write-ups with photos that are excellent if you want to leave me your email address.I did not buy new bolt.
There is also this from a SABBER:
I just completed the job a few weeks ago.
If everything went right, it's a pretty easy job.
1st get a T-27 Torx socket and a 36 mm socket.
Remove driver's side wheel, remove inner fenderliner.
Drain trsmission fluid.
Remove the 14 or so T-27 bolts on the transmission cover. I had one bolt,
that the head was stripped, that required over three hours and a lot of
swearing to get out. It was the bolt behind the strut.
I ended up removing the strut, so I could drill into the bolt and then
used an ez-out to get it out.
Use a hammer and small chisel to bend the 4 "stakes" on the pinion bolt.
The flange of the bolt is hammered in 4 positions to lock the bolt.
This will take some time to get them bent up enough to allow the bolt to turn.
Remove the pinion bolt with a 36mm socket. You will need a breaker bar,
because it is torqued to 120 ft-lbs.
KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAN from now on
Remove the pinion gear, with bearing and washer. Wrap with a clean rag.
Remove the outer bearing race. Mine came right out with a tug on the
inner lip of the race. Some use a heat gun to expand the case. After you
get the race out, wrap it in a rag and put it in the freezer, to aid re-installation.
Grab onto the govenor body and slide it out. Put it on a clean rag.
The seals are located on the inner cylinder of the gov body.
The seals on mine were in pieces. I just changed the rubber o-rings,
not the hard inner seal contained in the kit.
Get off all the o-ring pieces, lubricate the o-rings with vasoline and
roll them into the grooves on the body. Make sure they are not twisted.
Re-install gov. body into transmission. Make sure it goes in all the way.
It has to re-engage a set of teeth to go all the way in. It should be flush
with the pinion shaft.
Re-install your frozen bearing race.
Re-install pionion shaft sleave spacer.
Re-install pinion gear with bearing and spacer.
Install the new pinion bold and torque to spec ~120 ft-lbs.
Stake pinion bolt in 4 places, with hammer and punch.
Clean off old cover gasket. Apply new cover casket, hold in place with a
little vasoline.
Reinstall cover.
Remove 3 10mm bolts from the filter housing, remove cover. Pull out filter.
Install new filter and o-rings. Clean magnet in cover.
Look at condition of transmission mount, mine was shot.
Replace inner fender liner. mine was stubborn to get aligned.
