If they are UNF they will be 7/16 but if they are worn out that badly use an impact socket. 10 or 11 mm should work depending on how bad they are. Be sure to soak them with wd40 first!

I use Nyloc nuts and a good coating of copper grease once fitted.

not 716 thats massive, i think you mean 7 16 head, the thread size is 1/4" unf. Personally i dont like nylocks, id use some fairly big washers, to spread the load, and some spring washers.
