I didn't think yo ucould take it off...i thought you had to take it apart to take the pulley off. I'm not quite sure. Someone else will correct me on this
on my 98, i just use an impact gun and it zipped right off.
yup, air gun should do it.

one more thing may help a bit (but i don't know why its not coming off).
sprat the bolt with some PB Blaster. if for some reason the bolt is seized on there, that stuff should penetrate it well. leave it on there for 10 minutes or so, but overnight is pissa.

hey guys thanks for the input....i had to take the alternator off to FINALLY get the nut off!! Pain in the ass at first!!! Runs like a champ....quick ? .... The line on the tensioner is a tad bit behind the two lines of the safety zone...where the belt might be a little to tight....should i replace the belt or is that ok?? once again thanks for yalls help!!
you probably was using an inferior impact gun. All impact guns are not created equal. I have a 3/8 in. drive craftsman and a 1/2 in. ingersoll rand thats rated @ 750 ft-lbs @ like 100 psi. The craftsman is smaller and can get in tighter places but when I need a gun with some balls I break out the ingersoll rand.
