Taking what Bill posted to the next level, there is a specific puller just for pulleys. It looks a lot like a bearing splitter, but its designed to fit into the grooves of a pulley. In this photo the pulley puller is in the top left hand corner (image stolen from owwm):
I used one to pull the step pulley off another motor and although the 2 jaw puller was stretched pretty wide, it turned out to be a rather simple pull:
It is a handy thing to have and I wasn't aware they existed. I understand they may not be a smart purchase for everyone though.
