I have all the bolts out. My flywheel puller isn't big enough (none of the bolts will fit the flywheel holes). Any way to pull these off the motor without gettig a bigger puller?

I always just pull them off by hand. Of course, I've never spent much time on a motor that didn't have at least a weep of oil coming out of the rear main seal. The hardest part for me is trying not to crush my fingers or drop it on my chest.
Try grabbing around the lower edge and pulling out so you can slowly work it off?

If it wont wiggle off, place a piece of wood of something soft under it and tap it off with a rubber mallet.

Thanks guys. I've been trying to wiggle it. Haven't sprayed penetrating oil yet, but I will.
I have it up on a chain hoist, so I don't have any firm resistance against my wiggling efforts. I may try tapping with a soft mallet.
My BIG concern is that when it does come off, I'm positive it will fall onto my toes!

it wont just pop off because of the tightness of the fit.just start wailing on the bottom top bottom top,to break it free then just wiggle it off.also put the motor on the ground for resistance and IF it does get away from ya it doesnt have to far to fall.ive done a few and never had one just come flyin off.
