Default Changing maggie pulley

Bought my supercharged 02 Z out of Florida. Now im 1 mile high, so Im going down 2 sized on my pulley. Do you all have any tricks on getting the nut loose that holds the pulley on? I have tried to hold the other pulleys, used those soft rubber band gripper tools, etc. cant get the nut loose. Any advice would be great! Thanks!
Oh, and I cant fit an air wrench in because of the metal bracket that holds the ps fluid.

The easiest way is if you can get an air hammer to undo the nut. You can move the PS resevoir bracket out of the way to get access to the nut.

When I change mine, I have to remove the TB snout and the PS bracket. Takes an extra 10 minutes but comes off right away with the air/impact gun.
