Put the key way back in and smash it with a sledge hammer, what i had to do the other week! sod the key way btw....it will bend
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.
