You need a rubber mallet or dead blow hammer.
Put the nut on a couple turns and beat the flexplate where it attaches to the counterweight. The vibrations will shake it off. (It'll take a good couple beats though... Might take a good five minutes of straight hitting.)
PB Blaster will help.
If it's really stubborn, a prybar between one of the tension bolts and the counterweight will do the trick.
Flywheel is the same trick.
