That's weird, my crank bolt was the b!tch and the pulley wasn't that hard.
When I removed mine, I didn't have to use the SST. I used a big flat head screwdriver and "walked" the pulley off. I got underneath the car and went from one "side" of the pulley to the other. It moves very slowly but it works. Took me about 30 minutes to get it off. You can check the progress by getting up and looking at the ridge that has the notch in it and seeing how far it has moved away from the lower timing cover.
Once it was off I put ARP moly lube on the bearing surface of the pulley and the crank nose. It slid right on and off by hand after that.
