Taper lock flywheel removal

Howdy,

I'm working on removing this confounded thing from the tractor and need some new ideas. I have tried working a pry bar behind it and using a claw puller on the big nut. I also tried using a large oak block against the nut and beating the daylights out of it with a sledge hammer. I have a really sore arm and only a small movement. I hate to have to go buy stuff to make a one-time puller but it looks like it is going to be the case since my scrap pile isn't very diverse. Anyone have plans for such a puller or a picture? I sure do appreciate the help and so does my arm ha ha.

I backed the nut off a few turns away from the flywheel , then put cold chisels between the flywheel and tractor at 4 places. Used scrap pieces of steel where necessary as shims. Drove the chisels in evenly. Flywheel gave a big pop and slid off. Took the flywheel off, put nut back on and pull on the nut with a puller, it'll pull the hub off your crank. I've done it 3 times this way.

The Instructions say back the nut off and hit the center with a hammer, but I had no luck with that.
