Usually a tool called a gear or pulley puller (http://www.amazon.com/Sunex-SUN3913-Capacity-Reversible-Puller/dp/B0014DEV16) can be used for keyed sheaves, but I'm not familiar with Craftsman's mounting arrangement so you might need something else. If you end up using such a tool, flood with penetrating oil and pull on the hub if the pulley is spoked. Pulling on the rim can easily result in a broken or bent pulley if it is stubborn.
