Front Crank pulley hole threads M?X?

[scottm]

Preparing for my front crank seal job, I'm looking for the thread size for the holes in the front pulley. I can get an M8X1.25 to engage, but the hole is rusty, I'm upside-down, and there's not much room for my hands. Does anyone know the thread size?

Did someone say a crowbar works to hold the pulley? This is going to be a lot of torque!

If you mean the two little holes to the sides of the main bolt, those are 8 x 1..25

You Da MAN!



I ordered a couple hardened shoulder bolts from McMaster, that should hold.
