There is a special tool used to pull the pulley off. Go to a Pep Boys or AutoZone and look for it. It's pretty cheap and works well. The tool clamps around the front part of the pulley and uses a bolt to push on the shaft while pulling the pulley off.

I was unable to break the nut loose so waited till the alt needed to be replaced and let the shop use an impact wrench to break the nut free and install my overdrive alt pulley.
BTW, they said that they had to grind down a socket to tighten the nut after the overdrive pulley had been installed.

Most mechanics will use an impact wrench. Very quick and easy. Just don't over-do it.
Oops....you said under drive......not sure. I know on regular alt it's right off and right on in a snap.
