i had this old ass subaru that i was fixing for a friend, and i couldnt get that damn pulley off and wasnt about to spend the money on the tool, nor was he. so i drilled 2 10mm bolt-sized holes in the pulley at opposite ends and ran two bolts into it and wedged a pry bar in-between them so it locked it in place, and that worked great.

never f-ed with a vigor pulley so idk if thats of any help. just figured id throw it out there.
