You do not need one. I used a 5lb sledge. It does not take alot of force but it does take a rythem. Do not hit the clutch surface, but rather around the outside. The continual vibration will get it to come loose. Single hard bangs do nothing.

First of all do you have the turbo transmission. You need that if you are using a turbo flywheel.

Use a hammer or something and just knock the crap out of it.

Copied and pasted directly from the FAQ:

How do I remove the flywheel nut and flywheel?
The flywheel nut is torqued to approximately 350 Ft-LBs and is 54MM or 2 1/8" in size. You will need a large breaker bar or impact gun and then some means to keep the flywheel still as the nut is spun off. The flywheel can then be pulled off with a puller or pried off from behind. See the following topics:
