I dont know if you have the V6 or the I4. On my V6 the power steering was right on top. You should look at the front of the pulley for small holes or something because this could be where you would use a special tool to hold the pulley. Also, if the pulley is spoked you could make your own special tool to hold it. The strap thing could work but my guess is the pulley is on there very tight or should be. If you are replacing the pulley it wouldnt matter if you took extreme measures to get it off anyway, Right? Good Luck!
