I know this topic is cover million times,don't tell me to search,
I read all the post already
I am working on a 12A, flywheel nut is pretty easy to take off, only took 5 sec and nut came out, but the flywheel is likes stuck inside,
I tried the flywheel puller , slide hammer , pry ,hammer, use the torch etc........
I still can't get it off , anyone has the similiar problem?

well, if you've used a torch and a hammer already, then it's safe to assume that you don't care about the flywheel.
Hit the flywheel/e-shaft joint with PB Blaster every hour for a day, and then let it sit overnight.
Take a good sized hammer (3lb drilling, 4lb mini-sledge) and tap right around the rim of the flywheel, with your blows directed on the face of the flywheel. Hit it much like you're tightning lug bolts on a 5 lug car, in a star pattern. This should loosen the flywheel enough to allow you to wiggle it off.
If this doesn't work, then heat the flywheel around the e-shaft and tap the rim lik eyou did before.

I'm sure this is horrible, but to remove mine I wedge a pickle fork/tie rod tool in between the flywheel and where the tranny bolts to and the top of the motor. Hit the fork with a hammer, turn flywheel, repeat.

REted is right step one get the largest hammer you have step two if you care put a towl /rag around the head. w/ the nut on four or five twist down so it doesnt' fly 10 feet back give it a whack like guts from beserk if you dont' get it get someone with more (brass) I almost always get it with a single thud.

I got mine out by putting a demo bar between the engine block and the back of the flywheel, with a towel on the engine side. Put the nut about 4-5 threads on, and wedge the bar there. Smack bar with hammer. If flywheel doesnt move, repeat BFH treatment.
Thats how I got mine off at least. And as far as ive read, thats the uh, prescribed treatment. At least the BFH is. I added the crowbar.

Just for future reference did try a flywheel puller, get it tight, then hit it with a hammer?? I had to do that to mine. The puller wouldn't work, and the hammer wouldn't work, so I did both and it popped right off.
