Ok, if you removed the three outside bolts but left the center bolt on, the pulleys are just stuck due to time and road grime. Smack 'em with a hammer and they will break free. Or some that I've seen are 1 piece and can't be taken apart.
The center bolt holds your harmonic balancer on the crank. Remove that bolt. Then use a harmonic balancer puller WITH INSTRUCTIONS to remove the harmonic balancer.
