Under no circumstances apply a gear puller to the flywheel rim… NEVER.
As for the bolts, I have used regular grade 8 bolts , 1/4 – 20 I believe for your motor. Put strong tension on the puller, then a good hard blow to the puller screw with a heavy hammer. Be sure to still have the flywheel nut installed, just backed off a few turns., unless you are good at catching a flying flywheel.
