91 Olds water pump pulley. I don't know how to remove it, or if I'm missing something.

Motor 2.5L the replacement pump is a duralast. Look similar but not exactly the same. Removed 8 bolts, 1 alternator bolt. Thought that I could just remove the pulley last,but the pump still will not come off. So my conclusion is the pulley must have a bolt or pin in the center of the pulley that holds the pump still in place. Since the motor is side mounted it is difficult to see. Need to know tool size(s) also.

It is just held on by the pump bolts. The water pump is probably being held on by the sealant that is applied to the mating surface. you may need to whack it a few times with a rubber mallet to unstick it from the engine case.
