I already ordered one from Rockauto, but thanks for the offer. I suppose it depends on how you look at it. I have a small pry bar which just fit between the lip and the block. After heating the pully I put the bar into the gap and and tried pushing on it. No movement so I got a hammer and tried to tap the tip further into the gap to put more pressure on the pulley to break it loose. That worked but a bit of the lip snapped off at the same time.

I agree. I am continually blown away by the kindness and generousity of the people here. Loud applause and huzzahs to xirdneh and all of the rest of you. My heros.
