Remove flywheel nut, use an air impact gun to make that easy. Next, give the shaft a squirt of WD-40, or PB Blaster, or Liquid Wrench to help loosen things up. Let it sit for 1/2 hour, then put the flywheel nut back on and finger tighten it, and then back it off 2 turns. Have someone hold the engine off the ground by the edges of the flywheel and smack the flywheel nut squarly and smartly with a short handled 4 pound sledge..the flywheel should pop loose, and then you can take off the nut and flywheel. Failing that, you will need a 3 arm crowfooted puller, like a harmonic balancer puller for cars, available at any auto parts store.
