I had to remove the flywheel to replace the clutches on two occasions
and had the same problem. I put the puller on and tightened the bolts
then heated the centre boss with a blowlamp. I then hit the centre boss
with a hammer and it jolted off.

Tried the old boiling water trick ? Other than that CAREFUL heating of
the centre of the flywheel with a blowlamp, you don't want to distort
the flywheel otherwise you get mucho clutch judder.
