If I read his message right, he already has the flywheel bolts out. I guess I don't know what I'd put a impact wrench or breaker bar on. I DO know that it's a bad idea to start walloping the bejeesus out of the back of the flywheel. I've also used a rubber (or lead) hammer to gently rock the flywheel back and forth just a little on the dowels. Once you get a little motion, it's as good as off.
