A search for "flywheel removal" will probably answer every question in this thread...However...
To remove the flywheel, pry from the back with a pry bar while someone smacks the face with a small sledge hammer. Use a block of wood to protect the flywheel if you intend to reuse it. Generally this removes it in one blow.
To torque the nut, apply red Loctite to the threads, silicone sealant to the face of the nut that goes against the flywheel, then torque to 150 Ft-LBS. Then using an impact wrench (actual size basically irrevelant as long as it can move the nut...) turn it another 60 degrees, which is the distance from one point on the nut to another.

Ive allways used a puller to get the flywheel/counter weight off. Its just a piece of thick steel with two holes drilled into it for the bolts on the counterweight/flywheel, tighten the bolts with the flywheel nut prtly screweed on to protect the threads and it pops right off.
* replace the needle bearings/thrust washers if you use the big f'n hammer method.

The easy way to remove the flywheel is to use the bolt holes that are in the stock flywheel.
Use 2 thin pieces of steel behind where the the bolt will come though to protect the seal on the other side.
Tighten both bolts and then hit it with a rubber mallet, it'll pop right off.
