Hi Rob,
Yep, there is a way. Each of the bolts/nuts have marking on them. Check out
some machinist books at the library and they should have them in a table.
Remember sometimes hardness is not good and a grade 5 works better because it
isn't as brittle. I had several grade 8 bolt snap where a grade 5 worked fine
because it wasn't as hard and could stretch a little.
