Good instruction here. I admit I have no clue what size bolts your will need. My small engines use 1/4 inch course. best of luck. Rick.

Re: pulling flywheel

they are 5/16 ,I think 24 thread(fine thread) be sure you get hardened bolts,do not use soft metal,be sure you thread evenly,you can find the bolts usually in the better hardware stores,they usually have drawers for special bolts like hardened,stainless,.plastic etc.

Re: pulling flywheel

First class auto parts stores have Gr8 bolts and washers. Avoid most of the chains, since they typically don't carry this stuff.
