    Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about (quite likely), but it seems to me if the flywheel & shaft are stuck this badly, there’s likely a lot corrosion present. So even if you can get the flywheel off, isn’t it likely that the shaft will be in such poor condition that the engine is doomed anyway?

    Actually, I suspect once Willie gets the bugger off, he will find the crank taper to be perfect. That is why it is stuck. A perfect fit with the flywheel to start with has created this situation.

    Time to break out a cutting wheel if the impact suggestions posted above don’t work.
