Had a similar issue. Just stay on that nut with your impact for as long as it takes. It'll finally break free. Took me 30 minutes or so on and off with the impact. Be persistent!
Really no need to brace the flywheel using the impact. Just when I was about to give up, BZzzzzzzz it came off!

I swore a lot at mine, that helped. Also did you soak it with PB Blaster? I remember using the heat so long the back of the pulley started smoking. Took me several days of frustrated attempts before mine finally gave way with impact gun, keep at it!

You can drill some holes in the nut to get some PB at the threads but you risk damaging crank threads. Same with cutting it off with a cut off tool/discs.

Do you know someone with and oxygen/acetylene torch? The higher heat can get the nut heated faster without heating the crank that much.
