You will have to use a special tool which is a pulley puller.

I am using a pulley puller that I picked up from advance auto. it is the "y" type with three slots on top and one on the bottom. We screwed the two bolts into the pulley and started cranking down the main bolt but it's like it is frozen, the truck is a 2000 xls with 67K on it the "death rattle just got to me and with towing a camper didn't want any failures

If you can try whacking the end of the pulley smartly. Sometimes it takes a little impact to break it loose. On that same thought, try tightening the puller with and impact gun if you have one.

Pulley Problem

Problem Solved It seems that the "cone" supplied with most pullers have a larger diameter than the hole in the pulley it self. Once corrected by placing a bolt in the crankshaft hole itself can you get the pulley off. Note to all an extreme thanks to my step-son Chris who worked through the night to replace the timing chain gears and tensioners. The whole process has taken over 14 hours. I must admit it has been a chore.
