no really i believe its pressed on... you may need a bearing puller?
 
See that large bolt? That needs to come out. You can brace the crank against the girdle with a small 2x4 to gain leverage and just take it completely out. Then it should slide out, sometimes with ease, other times it's a pain in the ass. You can try heating it up and lightly prying at it with a flat head screw driver. I found that 2 flat head screw drivers, one on each side (directly across from each other) applying even pressure props it off quite easily.
 
yeah you need to unblot that large center bolt there, what i did is since my oil pan was off i wedged a big flathead screwdiver in the flywheel teeth and then turned it till the flywheel stoped because the screwdriver was meeting the block, then i unbolted the crankshaft sproket bolt and it came off really easy
 
Pullers shouldn't be needed. As stated, remove the middle bolt and it will come off with some wiggling.
 
yes that big bolt needs to come off. if it still doesn't come off you will need a pulley puller. something like a 3-jaw type. once it's off i would clean up the crank and the inside of that pulley because they are supposed to be tight but come off by hand.
