My method:
strip of old belt to go around pulley, large craftsman strap wrench over that strip of belt (so you get full contact with the pulley ribs) - 2' breaker bar on the nut, hold strap wrench (pulley) - Bam, popped loose first tug.
Use puller to get the pulley off, and I was only able to get Allen's pulley on right up flush to the threads, so I used a socket and mallet to get it further, then used the nut to push rest of the way. 45 ft.lbs, no locktite
I used this method after Brian told me NOT to use an impact. Although I have heard from more than a few people that they used an impact with no problems. My method is pretty easy and harmless though if you haven't used an impact yet.
