Grade 5 bolts ok for Pulling flywheel on Evinrude 200?

[Keyboardman]

After trying all the local auto part shops and Lowes and Home depot, I cannot find grade 8 bolts for my flywheel puller. Best I can find is the 5/16 - 24 bolts in grade 5. I'd hate for them to strip out, but at a loss at what to use now. Thanks for any advice.

As long as you can get them all the in it should be fine.

The thread holes are clean and will accept the full 1" or so of thread on the bolt. I'll forge ahead with what I have and hopefully won't be posting on how to clean out stripped thread holes. LOL!! Thanks for the reply.
