try heating them up. You would always put a breaker on the front crank bolt to hold the engine still, then get another breaker for the flywheel bolts.
or get a bigger impact gun lol
Also brakecleen works great, especially with a wire brush or similar tool.

heat it up (i usually use my oxy-mapp setup) until it just starts to turn red. Then spray Deep Creep where it meets the flywheel. The heat will draw it in, then get 2 huge breaker bars and put one on each end. Just be careful not to heat it up too much and melt it.
Hope this helps.

there no way to get to the threads for pbblaster to work, and oil on the flywheel is not a good idea.
with the torch i can't get to any of the metal surrounding the bolt just the bolt head it self.
a breaker bar on the crank sounds like a plan tho.

Well after getting the other bolts off didja get the flywheel off? (Aside from using the bearing removal tool that *always* breaks...)? Someone here told troy and I some "newspaper trick" which we never had to try since we (O.K. HE) spent 8 hours dremmeling that rotten flywheel to get it off before reading the newspaper tip...
Let us know how it goes!

A bit more "impact" will probably do the trick. Try turning up the air pressure to 140psi-150psi also add some air tool oil to your gun through the air fitting. These things will substantially increase you impact's output.
Of course you'll want to turn the pressure back down when you are finished.
brakleen will work, but what works better is spraynine, topjob, or some other good detergent. I use detergent to clean alot of things. it works bewtter than solvents on most stuff.
