'Box is back out and I'm attempting to remove the flywheel to replace the ring
gear (2 6" long strips of very damaged gear teeth).

I'm a driveway mechanic.  Car is on Jack stands at front, maybe 18" up of the
ground.  I'm working from inside, or on my back under.  Those are my
constraints.

The Flywheel bolts are tight. very tight.  probably at the original 75 ft/lbs.
torque's, plus 'aged' as well.   I have an electric impact driver.  Are there
any tricks to removing the flywheel I can use?

If worst comes to worst, I'll cut the ring gear off the flywheel in place, and
heat the new one right by it.  Awkward, but desperate times, desperate
measures..
