Most (but not all) auto parts stores have an impact wrench behind the counter somewhere they can use to spin it off. If they don't have it, see if you can find a local machine shop that'll do it for free. I've had good luck with truck shops for heavy twisting (say, flywheel nut and front pulley bolt). It's really a case of, "If you have the right tools, it's trivial. If not, good luck."

I'm pretty sure you have to have an impact gun to get that thing off. Even on a brand new reman alternator I could not get the nut off without using an impact gun.

Take the biggest pair of vise grips or channel locks or whatever you have. Wrap the wrench in a rag, and have a friend hold onto the pulley with the wrench. Then just take a half-inch drive and a long pipe to it. Torque wins.
