I'm replacing my alt pulley with a lighter aluminum one and I have the alternator off and ready to go, but I don't know which way to turn the bolt or the torx head bolt thing inside of the main bolt.!?!?!?!!!
It looks like this:

Do I hold it still with the torx and turn (loosen) the big bolt counter clockwise?
Any help ASAP would be nice...

get a glove hold the pulley , and use a impact to remove the nut
righty tighty , lefty loosey
exactly as he said
STREET ANTIX, it's coming...
I don't have an impact wrench. Can I still do it that way? Why the hell would they even put that damn torx head nut/bolt in there?
I'll go try to just holding the pulley.

Is there some sort of trick to get this thing off other than an impact?

What a P.I.T.A ! It turns out that the new pulley I have is slighter different that my stock one. so I am machining it down to fit. BY HAND!!! lol
I did weigh them just for the hell of it.
Stock .64lbs
Aluminum .21lbs
I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted te sqeeze every ounce of performance out if this car. lol
I'm almost done. hopefully it turns out ok and fits good this time.

the eco and the 2.4 alts ive got here have the smae pullies on them
and i had a 2.2ohv pulley and a 6 rib from a truck allhad the same offset
Well, I forget where I ordered it from, but everything looks the same except for the little rings (offset) peice on the outside/back of the pulley. the diameter and ribs where the belt goes is spot on, but that little back peice is smaller than the one I got.
It's hard to explain, but... bottom line. it didn't fit at all.
