    If all else fails, heat the hub area with torch until it is hot enough to melt wax
    the liquid will be drawn into tiny gap between taper of flywheel and crankshaft.
    That MAY release a tight grip and allow "knocker" to work.
    Can’t hurt, might help.
    Do not overheat
    Clean tapers before reassembly
    Torque flywheel nut to spec. Never too loose or too tight.
