Keep the center nut on a few threads to prevent the flywheel from becoming an uncomfortable hat when it pops off!!
Hit the flywheel on the very edge with a brass,lead,plastic or wood hammer.It should only take a hit or two.Its not the number of times you hit it,its the intensity of the hit that will pop the flywheel off the tapered mount.

You're lucky you don't have an auto engine. Either that or I was incredibly unlucky - had to get the flexiplate off by putting an industrial gear puller on it, then a hot air gun, and finally belting the hell out of the end of the gear puller with a 12Ibs sledge hammer.
I wouldn't mind so much, but I nearly demolished the shed by using a jack and a 8 foot long piece of wood to wind the puller up with. Damn you mazda!!!

I was going to sue Mazda, but then I realised that it was my own stupid fault.

Hope to god mine isn't that hard. My auto should be out this afternoon or sunday (depending on when I get to it) If I have to, I will just cut the flexplate loose. :P
