Hi,
        Thanks for all of the ideas.  I went ahead an got a 3/4" breaker bar and
used a 4' extension and it came loose.  The problem then was to get the
flywheel off.  I drilled out a piece of angle iron that bolted up to the
clutch location.  A larger hole was drilled in the center and I placed my
harmonic balancer puller between the Iron and the flywheel and started
torquing.  Well the angle looks like a pretzel so I had to re-think the
approach.  I found two holes in the flywheel located on either side of the
nut about 2 1/2" out from the center of the Eshaft.  A 3/8" X 16 tap fits
perfectly.  So I drilled a shorter piece of angle and placed the puller
between the flywheel and the angle iron using the newly tapped holes to
hold it and started torquing.  Things started to bend and squeak but then I
rapped the flywheel with a hammer and it flew off.  Just thought  if others
get in a pinch to look for those two holes.  Thanks

It will pop right off if you smack it with a ten pound sledge.
