Ed, my suggestion would be to use a pry-bar and breaker bar (with 52mm or 2
1/8" socket) combination.  What I/we do is use the breaker bar w/ the socket
on the flywheel, turning counterclockwise (lefty loosey!!) while using the
back-end of the flywheel's casting and the rear end plate/rear iron housing
as a counterforce point with a prybar.  It works well although it takes two
people to do.  One of those people winds up flying off to the side,
typically, when the flywheel nut breaks.

I've done this many times and it works.

If you don't like this method, go for the power tools option and "brrrrvt"
the thing off.

Good luck.
