Bolt

Take the bolt to the hardware store and they should be able to get on e for you that's slightly longer (about 1/2") than the current one. You can then use that one to start the hub, and then switch to the regular bolt when it's 1/2 way on.

PS: You can actually use the original bolt if you oil the crank surface, inside the bolt hole, and inside of the hub and work slowly until it's on a 1/4" or so. I've done that twice. It seems scary when you're only biting 3 threads or so, but I've never had one strip.
