It should just slide off but is probably corroded on there. Try and lever it off from 2 opposite sides at the one time.

Yeah I think you are right, must be corroded on very tight, will use the tap wiggle and lever method for a bit, am worried i will buckle the wheel if i use too much force.....thanks

WoooHooo! Tap, tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap, wiggle.... it came off, just needed a higher balance of taps to wiggles ratio.

Well done. Give the shaft a good clean and apply some grease so it is easier next time you need to replace the pulley.
