There really is a tool specifically made to remove these - I THINK it's a SIR tool - I bought it ($80!) but I don't know if it is still available. It makes this job pretty simple. The pulley is stamped and very easy to damage. The tool is a bolt pulling back on two pretty tough steel half-circles captive in a metal shell.
