[V8] Timing Belt Saga 4

I've followed the manual suggestion to loosen the crank bolts a couple
turns and tap on the pulleys around the rim with a "plastic" hammer (I'm
using a rubber deadblow hammer), and I can't get the pulleys to come loose
on their tapered shaft.  I've tried tapping in every direction I can get to
with the hammer, all around the rim.  How hard should this get whacked?
Can I use a puller?

How about the oil pump pulley?  Will that come off easily?

I ordered the timing belt damper friction pad in the stuff from
AudiConnection ( ordered all parts on their main and optional timing belt
parts lists except the coolant), and I don't find that in the collection of
parts.  Where is that in the assembly and what's it look like?
