Does anyone have a trick for removing a flywheel.  The nut is off abd I
tried using the holes close to where the shaft comes through by tapping
them for2-  3/8 -28 bolts and part of a puller the screw.  After 3
attempts I pulled the 3/8-28 screw right out of the flywheel.  I thought
about making a puller out of the old clutch but i have to find some
steel that won't buckle.  I have numerous pieces of channel and U chanel
that are twisted up beyond recognition. Thanks for any help

You are not the only one with the twisted channel :)
Brute force. Once you have the nut off smack the flywheel with
a ten pound sledge hammer as shown in this pic. It will pop
right off. You won't hurt the e-shaft.
