The correct method is to place the flywheel portion
in a tub of water with the ring exposed to the air.
A oxi/acet torch is used to heat the ring gear only,
round and round.
It will pull right off when the ring gear get hot enough.
The water keeps the flywheel from expanding due to
the heat application, but the ring expands like mad.
There is a similar procedure in the workshop manual.
