I am going to try to replace my CV half shaft. The AutoZone instructions says in addition to the big parts that I need, I also need some smaller ones:

1) a wheel hub retaining nut;
2) a new lower control arm to steering knuckle pinch bolt;
3) new retainer circlips for the CV-joints; and
4) a new cotter pin

How do I find the part numbers for small parts like this? All of the parts sites I have looked at have larger parts, but don't get into these small ones. I know Bill Jenkins has the search feature if you know the part number and you can find everything that way, but how do you find out the part number in order to start your search?

Thanks for your help...I've been posting a lot of questions lately and I really appreciate all the help.
