79 SA 12a Flywheel Removal

I just recently got a re-surfaced flywheel and i am now needing to get the old flywheel off. The flywheel has never been taken off before and i have gotten the washer flattened out. What are some easy ways to get the flywheel nut off???

Pneumatic Impact. I set the pressure as high as the tank will go and they come right off. May have to hit it for several seconds, but it works.
