If you piled the threads up weld a nut onto it. If not, it should spin out with vice grips or by hand easily.
It's tight on there.
I found one of those rubber strap wrenches at Lowes. Hopefully it will hold the s/c shaft from spinning when I use a vice grip on the allen bolt. I will give it a try tomorrow.
take your new pulley you're going to install and heat it in the oven. Once warm run out to the garage with an oven mitt and slip it on. You have to get it right as you only get one shot. After the pulley is on and cooled put the belt on and then use a vice grip to remove the bolt from the snout.

I might try that since I wont have a pulley tool available till Monday. So if I heat it up it should slide right in? I thought steel expands when heated

Warming the pulley should expand it enough to get it slipped on the shaft. Could cool the blower shaft a bit just for the added help.
If you can't get the strap wrench to bite, and can't get the pulley "sweated" into the shaft, you could use some soft aluminum, or copper and make mini soft jaws for vice grips on the shaft. Hopefully the stud comes out easy enough that you don't have to get too serious with it though. Good luck man!
Yep it'll work but be warned you have just a few seconds from the time you go to put it on the shaft to where it becomes locked on there.
Do you have access to a cordless impact or air tools/compressor?
If you had a cordless impact with allen socket I bet the impact action would take it out even with little effort holding the blower input shaft.
Good luck! It will come out.
