Anyway.....with it still on the car, adjust the belt tension as tight as possible. Using a ring spanner on the pulley nut (as long a one as you can find to increase the leverage), tap the spanner sharply with a mallet.
I'm unsure whether the thing has left or right hand thread, but it should be obvious.
If the pulley spins, you may need a mate to apply further tension on the belt.
Good luck!!

It was mostly the part where I could avoid the entire generator to spin with the nut I was after... Ofcourse I already removed the belt and the other pulleys. Is there no way to do it without the belt on?

I used a pipe fitters vise grip with a towel between the pulley and the vise grips. Once the vise grap was locked on tight, I backed the nut off with my other hand.

took me a while to figure out how the $%#@#@%$#% electrical plug disconnects, otherwise it's fairly easy to pull the generator out. If you want to leave it in place all you have to do is pull the battery and the upper section of the battery housing out, which happens to be a separate removable piece from the lower tray. Any impact gun should have access to the nut then. I didn't have power or a cordless impact at the present location though, so I had to pull it.
