Default Can't get flywheel off for resurfacing... Do I have to?

Well in my quest to swap out the clutch, I've hit BIG bump. I can't get the flywheel off.....with anything. There aren't any burns in the flywheel so I'm wondering if I should take a chance and not resurface. I've soaked the bolts in PB which might not have been the smartest thing if I'm going to leave the flywheel on.
What would be the best way to insure all of that PB is gone if I don't resurface?

I made that mistake once (not getting it resurfaced when doing the clutch). I'm kicking myself in the *** now though.

I'm guessing you don't have an impact available?

Breaker bar 3.5'
Impact 80psi
Heat + Impact
Lube + Impact

Didn't work

First check the max pressure rating on your air tank
then pump up your compressor to the max.

Make sure your impact gun is well lubed too.

I've had some bolts that would only come off with 140 psi!

I'm not a fan of breaker bars....
most bolts just need the hard hitting impact shock to remove them
