Default How to get off crank timing gear pulley?

I don't seem to have the little bolts that go into the crank timing gear to get it off. I guess they are metric.

Any other way to get it off? The cam pulleys came off by hand.

No, you need to use the pulley puller. Those bolts don't come in the puller set. I went to Fastenal and got my bolts, I couldn't find the size at any hardware store I went to. (including Home Depot) I forget the size but I do know they need to be 3 inches long.
I got them in my hand but you're too far away. They don't say the size on them, sorry.

Ok Dean, I did just find a couple of bolts from some kind of plastic attachment for something I don't even recognize any more. They just fit, not a mm too long lol, but I got the pulley off.

Cheers for the help though, HD was my next step lol.
