They are M6 x 1. Get a tap and longer bolts, too. I start with 25mm long and 
cut them down if necessary.

Add a third center bolt to push things off and that will be fine. The threaded 
holes in the fan hub are M8 x 1.25 and will require rather long bolts to reach. 
Something like a 1/2" bolt in the center is good to push with. Sometimes you 
can buy or rent a cheap steering wheel puller which works well.
