Soak in penetrating oil for a few days, heat the nut carefully using a 
blow torch without scorching the generator, use an impact wrench (air or 
electric) while holding the pulley with a large vice grip and an old 
v-belt. Sometimes you can hold the shaft with an Allan key.
Removing the nut is one thing. It can also be very difficult to remove 
the pulley itself. Apply some heat to the pulley and tap the shaft with 
a copper faced hammer and hope for the best. You may have to cut the 
pulley to remove it when it is rusted solid.
