i KNO its not good practice, but i used a 1" heavy cold chisle on mine, it will exert more pressure to one point than anything , bout a tonne to one corner, use it on the hex point then hit it clean and hard, just keep at it till it goes, yer might loose all the corners so yer can order one from LR series 
i used a air impact gun 1" drive and a blow torch , nothing shifts it like a chisle, then yer need some big pullers for the pully
dunno bout the starter motor method , not fer me

Put my 3/4 drive socket on to mine. Gave the socket handle an almighty belt with a lump hammer - it was enough to shock it loose...

While you are replacing the seal do yourself a favor and drill out the rivets holding the mudshield on over the crank seal and replace them with machine screws - tap the holes to put the screws into - don't use nuts! . This way, the next time you need to do that miserable seal you'll be able to do it without removing the front cover to get the seal out - undoing the screws, removing the mudshield and prising out the seal is a matter of minutes.
When reinstalling the pulley do yourself a big favor there too and copperslip the hell out of the nose of the crankshaft - you'll thank yourself a few years from now when it slips off with no fight.

TD5!! anyone got any tips on how to remove the CRANKshaft front oil seal from the timing chain cover? Book says need a special tool...hopefully not..
Secondly any advice on whether its ok to resuse stiffener bolts that hold the oil pump assembly to block? Just removed and were not torqued very high and not a stretch bolt so dont see a prob with reusing...but many wiser men and women on here than me!
