The flywheel weight has four set screws around it, have you loosened them first?

Yeah, do you have the bar and bolts that came with the weight OR are you just using the strap wrench?

I pulled the plug out and fed 3/8" nylon rope into the cylinder (leave some sticking out
) to fill the cylinder and stop the piston from moving. That made it easy to get that thing on and off.
