I almost don't want to admit this.
To get the crank pulley bolt off, I used a big breaker bar. To hold the pulley steady, I...
<sigh>
...I tightened up the drive belt tensioner and stuck a big screwdriver in one of the PS pulley holes.
The screwdriver was being pushed against the PS pump body, so nothing real delicate.
The crank pulley itself didn't come off that easily, so I used a three-arm gear puller from Sears. The center bolt (you turn it to pull off the gear/pulley you're trying to remove) was smaller than the crank bolt I just took out, so I think I just stuck a socket in the hole for the bolt to push against.
