How to remove water pump pulley?

1996 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8L..



I can't seem to remove the pulley from the water pump. I am trying to replace the water pump.



I removed the drivebelt. The pulley has 3 bolts, and 3 holes. I tried to use 2 box wrenches to loosen, didn't work. I tried shoving a screw driver through one of the holes to stop the pulley from spinning, no luck.
