I wouldn't put pullers on unless you were very gentle because they could break the cast iron pulley. Mine luckily slid right off after I loosened the set screw. I've heard many aren't so lucky. If it were me, I'd try heating the hub of the pulley, trying to keep the heat off the crankshaft. That should expand the pulley so it may slide off easier. You could also try tapping it with a hammer, just be careful you don't break the pulley. 
On a second note...I have used pullers, just put them on and snug them a tiny bit. Then gently tap the center of the pulley. If it moves a little, tighten the pullers a bit more. Sometimes if you're careful, that will work. 
Others will chime in and share their experiences and advice.

Put  bearing splitter behind the pulley and pull on it.

This works well, too! 
Mine only had 1 set screw. Guess I got lucky.

Heating the hub some will not hurt either.

I just put the pulley puller on it and cranked..... of course I did have two spares if that one broke. But I wasn't worried about the pulley breaking, it didn't even seem like it stressed it too much when I was pulling it. If I remember right it wasn't super hard to get off.
