Fly wheel ring gear size 3.0 LX

[smartwork]

I'm mapping out my plan to change a fly wheel gear on my 3.0LX. I "think" I read here somewhere that it takes the 12" 153-tooth gear that can be purchased from NAPA. I can't seem to locate that info again. So that I can purchase the gear ahead of time and have it all lined up for the change, can someone confirm that info? Is that the correct gear size... measurement and teeth?
