It should come off easily. All the ones I've taken off have slide straight off. If your struggling put something to leaver it off behind it just don't go mad. There isn't anything actually holding it place the power steering pulley does that.

Why don't you just leave it with someone that knows what they are doing?

Some slide off, some can be barstewards!

Be VERY careful using a prying mechanism or even a puller, as you bend or snap some of the teeth. Doing this could cause the car to not run once back together.

Some WD40 or equivalent and a bucket load of patience and common sense will get it removed.

The pulley has two holes in it, cant remember if they are tapped or not. If they arent, just run a die down them, and then put a puller on using the newly tapped holes as the pulling point.
