I don't know about using a strap wrench - I bought a special pulley holding tool. I know its late in the game for original post but for those looking to do this job here's what worked for me:
I purchased the pulley hold tool from Oreilly Auto parts store - like $21 something but worth it as this is the most effective way to hold the pulley while you loosen the nut behind. I used a big crecent to turn that nut as it gave me the leverage.
The pulley tool looks like a giant pair of scissors but is design specifically for this engine. It holds onto two of the four mounting bolts on the front of the pulley while you loosen the nut.
