Did you make sure you have the washer off?Sometimes you can just work it a little and it will come off.You can get on with a 3 jaw pulley if you make room.Doesn't you 96 have 2 bolt holes in it?I made a puller to go in these two holes and made a slide hammer setup.Pry on it gently

A crank pulley requires a pulley puller. OR you can take (with someones help) two screwdrivers on opposite sides of the pulley and keep pressure on it while your buddy taps the bolt with a hammer. The pressure on either side must be even though. You shouldnt be able to wiggle it too much. Also when it does come out dont lose the alignment key.
