Default stuck crank pulley...

I'm in the process of replacing my Opti and i'm having trouble getting the crank pulley off. Any tips or advice? The bolts came out pretty easy but looking for some help. Thanks,

The pulley is rusted on the hub. Use a 2x4 and hammer. Crawl underneath the car and hit the pully from there and also use a dead blow to knock it loose from the top side. Hope this helps.
