if it's in the car you can remove the rad and use a normal puller

if it's out of the car you can forget about the rad and just use a puller

Its not easy to tell from the pix but how much room is there underneath the pulley???

enough to get a head of a ground down HT bolt???
perhaps an M6 which could sit between the teeth in the recess keeping it close to the pulley body.

Just wondering if you could grind the heads to make them fit into the available space, then with them screwed into some steel with a central bolt, it may be enough to prise it off.....

but only if there's enough room.

You can get a mid sized screwdriver around the edge of the pulley.........

So anything bigger your stuffed!

Worst case scenario:

Order a new cover from a breaker.
Split teh old cover with a chisel.

Use puller to remove pulley.

Job done. 5mins. Simple.

Just dont smack the pulley itself by mistake

and is it a pulley or is it the timing belt sprocket?

or

you make one..............
