Erik, Yes, it's pressed. Use a puller adapter that attaches to the fan screws & pull from there, don't use a two or three jaw puller on the outside edge of the...
Erik Tom is correct about removing the pulley. It will break without much effort. Also, don't try to press the shaft out of the bearing like I did. I was...
