Help!! Crankshaft pulley problem

I have an 86 IROC with the 305 TPI. I am trying to remove the crankshaft pulley but can't figure it out. It has 3 bolts which I unscrewed but the pulley will not budge. There is a bolt in the center of the pulley but I think it is for the balancer..?? Do I need to unscrew that middle bolt to get the pulley off. Any help would be great.

Penetrating oil and a hammer! Be careful not to bend it...

I don't really recall... but, i don't think you need to. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to take it out, and see if that makes the difference.

The center bolt has to come out as well. Then the pulley will come right off.
