If your talking about the main pulley called the Harmonic Balancer, it is pressed on and requires a puller to remove it.

If you are tackling a big job you haven't had to do before. It might not be a bad idea to get a manual for the vehicle from a parts store. While techs may talk trash about them and granted the info usually isn't up to professional grade. They do provided a basic step by step for big jobs like this and may save you from making huge mistake that could waste a lot of time or do some serious damage.....
