Can you use heat to remove a flywheel?

What’s the best way to remove a flywheel?
In using puller, tighten down the three small outer bolts tight, or at least evenly, then tighten the large center bolt, tighten a bit more until you add a fair bit of tension on, then RAP the puller’s bolt head sharply with a large hammer. If that does not pop it off, tighten again and another rap.
