In case anyone is following along for advice while doing their own starter clutch, here's something kind of important:
I ordered the correct puller as referenced by Motion Pro 08-0027 (M16X1.5 Rh), waited anxiously for it to arrive and when it did, it was the wrong size. Motion Pro's reference information is WRONG.
I believe the correct size is 14mm x 1.5 Rh.
So, I got frustrated and used a short bolt (axle) and a ball bearing as a spacer after reading the suggestion here at GSR. Following that suggestion flattened out the first thread on the inside of my crankshaft (red arrow).
I re-tapped it and it's fine now but it was pretty scary thinking about having to drill and helicoil or worse even, having to tear down and replace the crank if it was too messed up to fix.
It also wasn't fun having to spend the money and take the extra time to go find the odd size tap (12mm x 1.25) which none of the common kits contain. And just because I was able to dodge a bullet, doesn't mean you will -- be careful!
VERY IMPORTANT: If you must use a spacer, use one that sits exactly FLAT on the rim of the crank (yellow arrow). Anything else is completely unacceptable.
