Rag joint bolt stripped--now what??


I had to replace my rack and pinion today, and upon doing so I, or previous owner, somehow stripped the bolt that secures the "rag joint" to the rack input shaft. Does anyone have any clue as to the part number, or even just thread pitch/bolt size, so I can replace this? I looked on a DSM cd, but I couldnt find anything. And Im also worried that I will not have to take the joint out and re-tap the threads. Any input? thanks in advance, I gotta get this thing movin by tomorrow night
