I have the front part of clutch off, but the pulley is still on and seems stuck. I have removed the snap ring that retains the pulley. I'm going to Autozone tomorrow as advised above for a puller.
I've not removed the compressor from the vehicle since I'm doing this job, or at least that's my plan with the compressor installed.

Oh. From your original post I got the impression that the
hub was stuck as you had the 10mm bolt out.
Yeah, I wouldn't be too thrilled to start prying between the compressor body and pully as the compressor body is aluminum.
Keep us posted on your progress. As my coil was "baked", I had to remove the radiator to get clearance to access the
coil snapring. I could get the
pulley snapring off without doing that though.
Best of luck!
