ebay does have em but am not paying $20 for it when I'm only going to use it once , is there any other way i can undo it

use a long reach 10mm socket on the nut, clamp the fly wheel with some grips and undo, gently tap the back of the flywheel and it will come off freely.

If you plan on being in the hobby for a while it may be a sound investment. You will probably change motors a couple times and that flywheel wrench could come in very handy.

If you don't have one, I've found that I can wrap a towel over the flywheel and use channel lock pliers to get it loose and then just tap off. Hope this helps.

I agree with the guys above statements. I've always just wrapped a rag or towel around fly wheel and gripped it with channel locks to break the nut loose. Then took the same channel locks and tapped the back edge of flywheel to knock it loose. Its always worked for me.

I believe the one I have at home is an Ofna flywheel wrench and works just fine for my liking and well under $20.

I use an adjustable battery terminal puller. This is the exact one I bought. Its the cheapest one I could find. Its pretty cheaply made but so far its holding up. Having said that if I was going to do it all over again Id get one that was a little better quality and spend a few more bucks.

I agree with greywolf74 battery terminal puller works fine for me, and its good in price wise. Usually u can find it at your local auto parts store.
