Crank Pulley Removal

Get underneath the engine with 2 big flathead screwdrivers one on the left side of the pulley and one on the right. And "walk" it off a little at a time, don't pry too hard or you will crack the lower aluminum timing cover. It will take you a while, took me 20 minutes to remove my pulley that way, but it works and costs a lot less than the SST. Work at it for 5 minutes and get up and look how far the pulley has moved away from the lower timing cover, look where the timing marks are and you'll see it move a couple millimeters at a time. Just take your time.
