How to remove pulley from spindle

We just purchased a "returned" lawn Dewalt 40V mower from Lowes because the charger was missing. Wrong. The inside pulley is warped and jacked up. Now we cannot remove the pulley from the spindle! Help! Here's a photo.

looks like the pulley will be cast onto the shaft.
The shaft has bearings so it can rotate but the pulley is hard on the shaft.
Thus replacing the bearings will be of little use as he still has to replace the broken pulley.
Just another cost cutting exercise but people force the mowr companies to do this because they will not pay a fair & reasonable price for quality durable mowers.
 
part 14 driven pulley N510599 . About $10

If it is in warranty let them fix it. Its like 1 year, 3 years on the warranty.

Looks like that is the brake or clutch. Maybe someone tried to mow too tall of grass and it caused it to heat up.
