? Jack screws ?

I've never used any tools, but a BFH when pulling the brake drums of any vehicle Xterra included.

8mm x1.25
I just pulled a couple of likely-looking screws from a couple of brackets in the engine bay that matched and used them.

Thanks Brent
I figured it should be around an 8mm, seeing that it was the size of a 5/16 and knowing that all the screws are metric in the X, the 8mm is the closest.
Thanks for the confirmation again.
By the way I liked your creative thinking in finding a similar screw in the engine bay.
