I have never broken a flywheel by hitting it on an anvil but have broken one or two using two hammers as all you need is one bad stroke and it is broken the flywheel.
I have broken the flywheel when trying to get it off after removing the boss as sometimes the alloy tends to partly weld itself to the shaft.

Bruce
