Many thanks Andy for your post. A friend of a friend told me about the clever captive nut in the flywheel assembly, and I also found a S/H slogging spanner of the right size. The slogging hammer certainly shifts the nut – to the extent that in anticlock mode it seems to have stripped the thread of the nut &/or the crankshaft. Before running free it had deformed the centre of the bronze part of the flywheel My last attempt will be to borrow a big bearing puller.
I’ll look up George at Villiersparts.
Thanks again for your help
