13b Fan clutch help

Hello there, I'm new to the forum!

So I've just bought an '86 FC, N/A 13b, and I'm in the process of changing the water pump!

I've drained the coolant, and removed the fan shroud already. However, I am having trouble removing the fan clutch. I know I must first remove the 4 bolts holding the fan clutch onto the pulley, but am having difficulty holding the pulley / large shaft that attaches them.
Does anyone have any advice on holding the pulley/shaft in place to make removal of the bolts easier? I don't see a shaft to use a fan clutch tool to hold it in place.

use a flat blade screw driver between the bolts to keep it from turning.
