I'm assuming you mean the crankshaft pulley...
In that case you need to put your truck in gear (high I think). I used a 2 foot breaker bar. Some on here talk about using the starter to loosen the crankshaft bolt. I had to use 6 minutes of heat using a torch to get mine to loosen as the motor was already out of the vehicle.

You're doing exactly what I did last week on exactly the same truck. I've got a 92 xtra cab v6 5 speed. What I did was wrap a piece of rope around it with a slip not type of thing to hold it there and let friction do what it does best. But like the other guy said I don't think you really have to take it off. I don't know why it said you have to because all you do is lay the pump down near the frame anyways.

Well to get the nut loose I used the rope and a wrench and to get the pulley off I threaded the nut back on so it was flush and put a prybar behind it pryed on it and hit the bolt with the nut on it and it came off. The reason for putting the nut back on is to save the thread. I did a headgasket change on mine and I did it fairly quickly and was my first time working on the thing and there is a pile of wires. I'm slowly getting the thing tuned and running right. And when putting things back together stay with the manual because it will tell you to put things back in a specific order and it is right. I had to take things apart a few times cause I skipped a few steps every now and again. Oh and one more thing, antiseize compound is your friend when putting it back together.
