Put the puller back on it and try hitting the flywheel off with a dead blow hammer.



You might have to rotate the flywheel around to keep it even coming off.



I've heard of guys heating it up also.

i use a block of firewood. hit the crap out of it with the firewood works like a CHARM.... put on some gloves so you don't get splinters. i know its ghetto but it works

or warp it by heating it up, thats a mistake! im gonna try to put the puller back on it and hit it hard as hell, i even have a **** load of firewood, im so tired i dont even remember if i have done this already?lol

If it makes you feel better, my flywheel decided it REALLY likes to come off remember
