Bolt size for flywheel removal? Force 120 L Drive Prestolite

[brandonv]

I've got a 3 prong puller, but I'm not sure what size bolts are required. Anyone happen to know?

Not sure on the size, but when I pulled mine, I found some that fit but as I tightened up the puller, they stripped right out. I used a harmonic balancer puller which came with bigger bolts so I just CAREFULLY drilled out the 3 on the flywheel and tapped them to the bigger size.

If they're the same as on a 70hp outboard they'll be 1/4" UNC.

But then, its a 120 so they might not be...

I had real trouble buying them over here. Most DIY shops only stock metric, and specialist suppliers want you to buy a bag of 100... In the end I managed to get 3 bolts from a classic MG car dealer!
