You need a flywheel puller that threads into the center of the flywheel, you then thread another bolt into the puller and when you tighten it down it pops the flywheel loose. I got mine from ebay for around $25, it doubles as a lifting ring and flywheel puller.

They are described as "universal" and it fit my 40hp Mercury but your engine may be a little different.

Don't try to use a three jawed puller or pound on the flywheel to get it off, flywheels are expensive to replace!
