well hear you "dog(s)!!!!" but it doesn't have a thread... trust me I am an Aussie..... (haha).
Yep I have gone down the road of buying 2 "Vespa" pullers (good for getting off my new flywheel which will be threaded - trust me !!) ... And Bryno I am going to pull the whole motor in bits and the flywheel is cracked and chipped so wont be putting it back anyway...
Cheers for your advice lads... and I am sure I will be counting on you both in the near future with more annoying questions for you to laugh at- erm - mean answer !!....

G'day Henri.... yes I agree the flywheel has previous owner(s) edge damage..... got chatting to a local Scooter repair / reseller shop and he suggested a 3 leg puller (which he had at home) so kindly offered if I could drop the engine into him he would pull it off for me.... Yep a new flywheel was always in the restoration project plan... I will reuse what I can but if in doubt will source some new bits....
Not sure I can shout out here (or if it is appropriate) but I would recommend Fargo scooter shop in Coventry.... helpful lads... (sorry in advance if this violates forum T's & C's - but I didn't put in their website so readers will have to do additional searching if they so desired).

P.S. With the engine issue I have at least I had a nice sunny day on Sunday to start stripping the rest of the bike, fun getting all the cables out of the headset, but front end all off now and apart and scoot getting lighter to lad (aka man)handle now...

G'day there
I have just started off on a restoration of a 1961 VBB Vespa, and have dropped the engine out and removed top end (cylinder up) and all is going well.
I am now rather red facedly (yes made up word) asking for advice about removing my flywheel. Yes I know what you are thinking (get a flywheel puller), and I have ordered now 2 pullers (both don't fit). The engine is a 3 port (so not original VBB 2 port 150 engine)... That was my fist unexpected surprise oh well will keep it VBB themed even if the engine is a 3 porter. Both (supposedly were Vespa pullers but my flywheel doesn't have any threads.. only the inner bolt thread where the flywheel nut was screwed on to. So the 2 Vespa pullers I got off ebay from scooter shops comes with out side threads on the puller.
So here is my newbie (oh look my face is bright red now) ask, any one have an idea as to what Vespa puller I need ? the nut came off easily and was a 14mm socket that got it off... the was a small washer under the nut but looking inside there are no threads on the fly wheel only on the bolt that holds the thread on.
Waiting patiently for one to respond....
and thanks in advance.
