Answer
Jason,
If the pulley is really suck, you can try things like penetrating oil, gear pullers, or even heat from a propane torch (be very careful that one).  Most service manuals give suggestions for removing seized items, so you may want to invest in one of those if you do not have one.  You can also refer to the following site for more information:
