I used a flywheel puller to get mine off… a lil tapping as I put pressure on the hub… it popped pretty good once released … be careful..there’s probably a key way on the hub as well… keep track of where it may fly… perhaps wrap a rag around it..

Even better - Leave the nut on loosely. Then you won't get smacked in the mouth and the key won't fly.
