Trailing arm and driveshaft bolt

I recently discovered that my rear diff cover is leaking some fluid. I grenaded the spider gears when I first got the car and my dealership replaced my diff. I just noticed that it is leaking out of the axle seals and the cover so I am looking to replace it. I also noticed that my trailing arm bolt came loose and was hanging out (pictures below). So what I am wondering is what is the size of the trailing arm nut. I can't seem to find anything online and im not trying to pay a bunch of money for gm parts that I can't even find. I need the size of the trailing arm nut and the size of the driveshaft bolts that go to the diff so that I can drop my diff since I heard you can't reuse the bolts for the driveshaft. Also i had to pay $47 for a diff gasket because i could not find one online or local. Any help. Again I just need the size for the trailing arm bolt and the drive shaft bolts. Thank you.

you can try looking up these part #'s. Maybe your local Chevrolet dealer has the bolts in stock. https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/v-2012...ear-suspension

Take the nut off of the other side and then take it to your local auto parts store to find a replacement.
