That would be true if we were driving a Lexus, where you want to be insulated from every possible mechanical feedback, but we like our sportscars tight! 
In this context we want to more resist the inertial movement of the exhaust, much as we prefer stiffer sway bars and the addition of a tower brace.
All design is compromise and dependent on end needs/desires.

Below is a basic puller set:
To the far right you'll see a straight piece with a threaded "bolt" down the center.
And that straight piece has slits on either side.
What you do is take two bolts used to secure the bell housing and insert each bolt through the slits (one on either side).
Then you'll see two threaded holes on the flywheel, start threading the bolts into the flywheel.
IMPORTANT... do not allow the center "bolt" of the puller to go through/into the e-shaft bore (where the pilot bearing is).
Just get a thick piece of metal and put it over the shaft.
And reason I suggest not using the 3-jaw puller if because you don't want to risk damaging the flywheel's teeth.

im putting a new flywheel in though so the other one won't be needed anymore, but i guess i might do it this way and then sell the stock flywheel on ebay to someone who wants to machine it and use it for cheap.

Another reason to take the flywheel off the correct way is to gain personal experience.
Because after this, you'll end up being the local "go to" guy for clutch and flywheel jobs

www.racingbeat.com has a flywheel puller tool you can purchase. Well worth it.
