The method I've always used is to loosen the crankshaft nut a couple of
turns,  bolt a 1/2" steel plate drilled with the counter weight hole pattern
over the nut so it is pulling the CW off the shaft.  DO NOT tighten the
bolts & try to pull it off, just bring them up to 20 Ft pounds or so.  Then,
smack the plate with a hammer directly over the center where the nut is.
The CW usually pops off on the first hit.
