Getting Off the Flywheel?

So i'm all the way to taking the flywheel off in my clutch project, when i ran into a little problem. The flywheel won't come off. I'm using direction i got off brent94z web page and the guy said that it should come off farely easily. Well i can tell you that isn't the case, i had a 2 foot breaker bar on there and the thing wouldn't move at all. So i put WD-40 on it and Dura Lube and havn't tired seens then. So my question is, is there some kinda trick to getting this off or do you just need to wrench the crap out of it? Also has anybody else had this problem and what did you do about it?

Use a half inch impact.

Are you turning them the correct direction? Had to ask.

put a little muscle into it i got mine off with a 1 foot 1/2 inch rachet, i think the torque for the flywheel bolts is around 70 lb ft. other wise try an impact wrench.
