I've had the same problem EVERY single time I try to take it off. I always end up having to run to autozone or the like and borrowing a gear puller. Used properly, it'll take it off no problem.

thats what is up
it is it is
any explanation as to what the TBDC and and T are used for on the timing cover. i was hoping to find some notch on the pulley to match it on the flap with. thought it was pretty cool to see that kind of feature, would help get the pistons at tdc on the compression stroke alot easier, it seems like a valuable thing if i could only understand what it is used for. oh well

Are you high? Dude, learn how to type, and try to get your thoughts in a coherent structure.
Smacked mine a few times with a mallet around the edges, in a circle, and it came off easy.

^^^that is what i did.
one thing, if you are putting on a OBX crank pulley you will find out that you can get it on because they didnt cut the keyslot deap enough to let the woodruff key go in. no biggie, just take a flat file and file out roughly .030" until you can put the pulley on. everyone that i know of has had to do this.

Wow I dunno about hitting the pulley but as long as it's a mallet and not a hammer . . .
I sprayed one of mine with penetrating oil and let it soak, then used a pair of prybars, left/right, and wiggled the pulley while pushing from the engine side with the prybars.
The other engine, the pulley came off by just pulling by hand. Go figure.

I think I might haved used penetrating oil..
I can't remember.
Wait a sec, you wouldn't use a mallet before prying it off with prybars? LOL

Nah, the wonder-bar seemed like an obvious solution, and a BFS was the prybar on the other side. I've knocked things crooked/stuck before by just banging on one side and you can hardly get to the top of the pulley with a mallet ( ! )
