If you are smart enough to use PB Blaster then you probably know all the other tricks about getting something like the pulley off of the crank. Cleaning and dressing the exposed part of the shaft and so on... If all else fails, I have had luck heating the collar part of the pulley/basket right beside the thin part where the key is, or you could drill a hole in the end of the key and thread... something into it (I would try tapping it to use something like an old electric motor bolt, being sure to get as many threads in it as possible), then use your slide hammer to tap it out once you have heated the same spot as mentioned before.

WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT PRY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE PULLEY!!! If you do, you will hate yourself in the morning.

Good Luck
