Dick -
Fair question, and the honest answer is "I don't know". But to head off any problems, what I did was find a bolt of the same diameter as the original, go inside the TM and remove the acorn nut, then put the end of the new bolt on the end of the original bolt, and tap the new bolt through. Use the new bolt as a drift, in other words. This kept everything in place and in line while I put the washer on the original bolt. Then reverse the process and tap the original bolt back through.
