Not sure about diesels, but most engines only have one nut/bolt holding the pulley on.
If it has a cam belt attached you would need to lock the engine timing, however you do on a diesel. Usually putting pins through the cam pulley into holes in head/block.
If it has a timing chain then assuming its only auxillary drive belt/s attached to pulley then you'll need to loosen the ancilleries and remove belts. Undo bolt/nut a tap pulley off. There should be only one way it'll go back on.

why the need to replace crankshaft pulley? If you are buying the car with it needing replacement they are very expensive.if it is the bmw 2.5, the crankshaft pulley is a vibration damper.
