Good day all, just replaced both front hub bearing. Mine had the star head bolts. Can I replace those star head bolts with hex head bolts?

The original star head bolts are likely grade 10+? I’d be very selective if replacing them with any non-Volvo bolt. No Home Depot bolts in this instance.

Are the "star head" bolts ETorx or "12 point" or "triple square" or something else?

I ask because there are unfamiliar bolt heads on the driveshaft of another vehicle.

Sorry, E14 Star bolts, very easy to strip the head.

You mean like newer cars?

And go to the last post: https://volvoforums.com/forum/2001-2013-model-year-v70-55/2001-v70-front-wheel-bearing-hub-bolts-79826/

So long as the grade, thread, and length are the same. Don't forget a new washer.
