Hello !!

Try to use a breaker bar with a long handle and a socket, turn it by hand CCW until get against the floor or the frame Disconnect the coil ( to prevent the engine to start) and crank the engine a little bit until the bolt brake loose (get help to be on the safe side!)..

And to remove the pulley you probably need an harmonic balancer puller..

good Luck !!

Rent an electrical impact wrench to get the pulley bolt out.
If the pulley does not have threaded holes in it to thread a puller in, it most likely just pulls off after the bolt is removed.
If you intend to work on the car yourself, a Haynes manual will pay for itself in no time. You can get one at Advance Auto and many other places for $16.00.
