so yeah
that bolt isn't hard to remove. At all.
work smarter here, not harder!
get a propane (or oxy-acetylene if you're broke and out of propane) torch and get it warm, it'll come right off.
then put it back on 1-2 threads. Then hit the flywheel with a BIG hammer, and it'll pop right off.

My solution...
Flywheel Stopper from mazdatrix:
3/4" Craftsman Breaker Bar and 54mm Socket from Sears:
Big *** Pipe from my Shed:
Flywheel Nut and Flywheel Removed:
I weigh 155lbs, no torch, no jumping, no problem.
Then you can return the breaker bar and socket to sears afterwards and get your $100 back.

Nice 1+ year thread resurrection...
My *electric* Craftsman Pro impact gun only rated at 260 lb.-ft ALWAYS works.
If it's stubborn, a little heat time with a torch helps.

Occasionally my 250 Ft-LBs electric impact doesn't work. In that case I just reach for the breaker bar with the 6 foot piece of pipe welded to the handle. That always works.
A little heat goes a long way though. Most of the time the huts are Loctited on and heat is the only reasonable way to release red Loctite.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
That's almost exactely how I did my first one!!!! I didn't need a tree though. 3/8" x 2' flat stock bolted to the flywheel with a hole on the end for a shackle (ala mazdatrix flywheel stopper without the stupid price tag. Craftsman 3/4" breaker with a pipe on the end. Hook the come-along to the pipe and the other end to the shackle and crank away. Done in a few seconds. Best part is the motor itself isn't under any torque so you don't need to brace the motor against anything.Of course this was before airtools. Now my 1/2" impact makes short work of it.

Is a pretty bad *** impact gun. Used it before. Plan on buying one sometime soon. You can only drag the compressor so many places....
Edit: It is about $530 US without tax... so...

I heated up the bolt with a torch and put my 3/4" Craftsman socket wrench and socket on it, had someone hold it down, and hit the end of the socket wrench with a 3lbs sledge. Came off with 2 hits.

The crank shaft pulley from a Honda D16 owned my Milwaukee electric impact. It's rated for something like 400ftlbs, and it didn't budge. I had to go ghetto with a 4ft pipe and a breaker bar too.
