The simplest solution is usually the best!
Thanks for the advice, I am not sure exactly why I wanted to remove it.
I think I just wanted to be able to put the block on an engine stand.
I will just put it on one after I remove the crank. Thanks again!

Derek,
Why do you want to remove the flywheel bolts? Unless you have a
definite need, I'd suggest that you leave crank and flywheel together.
