The safest way to remove the flywheel, is to use a harmonic balancer puller. Do not use a puller that grabs the outer edges of the flywheel, you'll end up bending it. The harmonic balancer puller will use the 3 -1/4 inch bolt holes on the top of the flywheel to safely pop it off of the crankshaft.<br /><br />Auto supply stores have the puller. A manual is a must in your case too.

when you use the harmonic balancer puller, tighten it down good, and then give it a solid rap with a deadblow hammer on top of the main puller bolt, it should come up slicker than snot.
