What is the thread diameter for the insert of this anchor? I am looking for something slightly less than 0.5" (anchor is less than 3/4") - one of the anchors was lost during pool opening and I just noticed it...

The large majority of safety covers use the same brass anchor which is this anchor. If you used a 3/4" Masonry drill bit when you installed the cover this would be the anchor you would need.

    I am also looking for the screw portion only. Is this still not an option? If not, do you have any suggestions of other places to look for just that part? Who is the manufacturer? Thank you.

What kind lube should you use on these brass threads before you try to remove them during cover installation? Mine are older and may be corroded. Should anti-seize be used on the threads before installing also.
