There is usually a center bolt that holds it on the crankshaft keyway. Depending on the kind of car you have and engine size, they require the use of a harmonic balancer puller. They are cheap or you can rent one at most parts stores when you leave a deposit. Good idea to replace the crank seal if you remove the pulley and inspect the pulley and keyway for wear.

Are you locking the flywheel and turning it clockwise?
