Pry bar.
If you pry up on the pulley with a bar on each side of it and while keeping pressure on the pulley, hit the end of the shaft that the pulley is on with a brass mallet, the pulley will usually break free.
Try leaving the belt on for tension on the pulley. Also you can very carefully use a pry bar to put extra tension on pulley while belt is on.

In order to remove the alternator you must first remove the belt. The alternator is held in place by two bolts and one will require a 13 mm socket to remove it and the other one requires a 13 mm wrench to remove the nuts while holding the long bolt with either another 13 mm wrench or socket. The alternator takes some force to remove it and pry bar might help. PRECAUTION: When using a pry bar do not use a pulley as a pivot for the pry bar, you will ruin that pulley!!!
If you're talking about the serpentine belt, there is a belt tensioner between the water pump pulley and the anti-vibration pulley, both of which are visible when you remove the right front tire and the plastic cover. There is also a diagram of the location of these items in front of the radiator under the hood. To remove the tension on the serpentine belt, take a pry bar and pry the pulley end of the belt tensioner down using the frame as the pry point. The spring on the tensioner is pretty stiff, so it will take some effort.
