Thread the 1/4-20 bolts in 7/16" deep into the flywheel, and evenly. You want to pull straight up on it. The depth is important, as is the grade 8. Too cheap a bolt, it will break, making a mess. Same if you don’t go deep enough in, you will pull the threads out, creating a mess. That can happen even when doing it properly, but minimize the odds, and ensure your grade 8 1/4-20 bolts are 7/16" deep.
BTW, don’t go too deep, or you could damage a coil.
