750ss squarecase flywheel puller

I have a problem with pulling the flywheel off my 750 SS squarecase ...

The correct puller is very difficult to find because the clearance behind the flywheel is only 2-3 mm and the foot of a standard puller is too thick to fit behind the flywheel.
You can see this on the top and back images...

This was a notorious problem on the pre-Bosch ignition 750s and I wonder if Ducati have addressed this problem by tapping the primary gear, see the six threads in the photo...

Unfortunately the photo is not directly-on. The diameter of the gear is 79 mm. I wonder what the diameter of the tapped thread is. M8 would be a typical puller thread and this sort of puller may work if so...

So my questions are;
Are these tapped threads intended for pulling the gear?
Anybody know what thread size they are?
If it pulls the gear, will the flywheel come with it or is that another issue?
Thanks in anticipation,
