well its gonna take some work getn the flywheel off its around 300 lbs it took me and friend all we could give it with a 5ft breaker bar. a good impact gun is a another option. if the engine is seaized theres no reason y u shouldnt be able to split it once u get the flywheel off

The flywheel does not need to spin to be removed.

True, in fact in a lot of cases the flywheel spinning is what makes the job harder.
