I agree that a fine pitch thread is most helpful for just about any puller tool. I don't know that I would go to the added expense of grade 8 bolts for this particular tool. They aren't going to get used very often (hopefully). But nothing wrong with using the stronger bolts if you want to.
One footnote: The collar with the keyway on sheet 3 is not needed for the puller set. It is included with this set along with 2 metal gears to replace the factory 2-speed spindle gear that is made from a single piece of plastic. They made the metal replacement gear as 3 separate pieces.
It will be nice to have Ed's drawings on hand though in case I bugger up one of the pieces and need to make a replacement some day.
