    I only had one that I had to cut off, of a 40 hp Gale.
    Turned out that the flywheel key was terribly buggered up,
    acting like a wedge I presume.

    Had the same problem with a 55 Chrysler years ago. The flywheel sheared the key and while it was spinning on the crank, it cut deep grooves into both pieces effectively locking them both together. The only way to get the flywheel off was by cutting it with a torch.
