Default Crank pulley install help

Is there an easier way to get the crank pulley off? The bolt is off but i cant get the pulley off, ive been pulling on it from every angle and i tryed prying it off with screwdrivers and still nothing. i know its not supposed to be this hard, im going on 2 hours of trying to get it installed.

I just finised this mod as well. If possible, have a friend use a screwdriver from the top through the engine bay and you use one from the bottom underneath the car. It should come off doing that.

Wasn't very difficult, but i had a lift and another person to help me. The hardest part was getting the pulley off. Besides that it was really quite easy. Just make sure you have a torque wrench and some patience. No need to remove radiator.

It only took me just over an hour or so for the install. Getting the pulley bolt loose was the toughest part for me. The pulley itself just came right off.

When I tried to help bud with his pulley install, we couldn't get the pulley off no matter what we tried. He tried prying it from the top while I tried from the bottom at the same time. We ended up having to put the belts back on. He was going to a shop to have it done.

You can pick one up at most any auto parts store. I bought one from Advance, if I remember correctly. The guy told me that I could return it when I was finished...I kept it, though.
