Got the nut off my 87 force 35. Can't get the flywheel itself off! It doesn't have threads for a flywheel puller. I might try to drill and tap my own, but knowing the cheap metal it might just pull out. I've been trying to get it off using the hammer tap/prying up technique I saw on youtube. No luck so far. Does anybody have any other ideas?

Persistance. Levering on opposite sides, soaking with some kind of penetrating fluid ( I use PB blaster on everything), and persuasion, taking care not to ruin the threads (I use scrap oak or brass I have laying around) and a 3# sledge.
