The flywheel nut is normal thread not reverse,,, but is torqued up to 400ftlb of torque,,,,, you need either a 6 foot breaker with a 3/4 inch drive or a good air impact gun (toughest nut ive ever busted LOL)

Tip....Take a flat end punch, say 1/4" flat on the end, heavy duty punch. Get a good 20oz ball peen hammer. Take the punch and tap at the flats on the nut all the way around. What you are trying to do is break the threadlock so it will come off easier - try it
