There are some threaded holes in the pulley that you can use somethin like a steering wheel puller, too. Is the engine in or out of the car? Big pullers are hard to use still in the car, but there are lower profile joints that'll fit if it's still in.

Don't us anything with jaws, only bolts with a steering wheel or harmonic balancer puller. Remove bolt, spray with penetrating oil(wd40 IS NOT penetratig oil!!), replace bolt & only tighten a bit 20-40ftlbs, belts, start engine, rev 3-5000 a few or 5 times, disassemble & it'll slide it off with a bit of luck.
