You definitely need the puller. You will need to buy three of the correct size bolts, preferably high tensile According to my VT manual they are 1/4" UNF bolts, I'm sure that VS are the same.

Look in your local Yellow Pages (or online) under fasteners.

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead.

Just to confirm...they definitely require 1/4 bolts?? I am reasonably sure that most other bolt measurements on the car are metric?
