while it's still hot, use an impact gun to get that nut off.

I wouldn't use a torch. Not necessary. Just stabilize the flywheel and go to it with a long handled tool. If the RB isn't long enough, add a pipe onto the end.

I spent like $12 and rented a 3/4 " electric impact for four hours. That nut came off with three or four clacks. My 1/2 " drive air gun turned all the way up with a full tank of air could not move it at all.

I stood on the engine while my dad used a 3.5 foot breaker bar on a 3/4" slide bar connected to the socket.

Mine was real easy to come off, I had Chuck Norris come and look at it, and it just came off.
