Help with West Bend/Chrysler

[pilotmanmk11]

I have a West Bend/Chrysler 20 hp and i can not get the flywheel off. I can't use a flywheel puller because the threaded holes on top of the flywheel are reamed out. I am unable to a large puller to get it off, how else are you able to remove the flywheel?

Note, this may cause damage to the flywheel or what is under the flywheel.

Loosen the nut 1 or 2 turns, do not remove the nut.
Pound on the flywheel with a mallet, and pry up on the flywheel with a pry bar.

Be careful not to damage the other components.

Hopefully it will "pop" loose.
