borrow or get a gear puller tool. they are cheap to buy at places like supercheap as you dont need the best one just one to use every now and then. or can try bit of wb40 and a rubber mallet to free it then wobble it side to side works most of the time!be careful not to hit hard on the outside edge of the pulley or wo can break pieces off.

Yeah i did that today, used the pulley remover and it was so stuck on, i had to tap it with a hammer and wind the pulley at the same time, slowly it came off, only to find my mild tapping with the hammer done some damagae  nothing serious, but gee i did not know they made it out of soft alloy

If you can't get the bolt undone, consider using a socket wrench on the bolt, with a pipe to extend it to the floor, and use the starter motor to crack the first rotation of the bolt  It does work

To get my bolt off I wedged a screwdriver through the pulley to hold it still, then just used a socket on a flex bar..
I was stuck for a while till I realised I could put the screwdriver through to stop the pulley turning..

yeah thats a good way to do it. i put a nicely made block of wood in the crank to jam it up and then used my f**k off size breaker bar to loosen it, then i used a balancer removing tool and simply pulled it off. it was still a pain in the ass tho!!!
