Loosen the bolts with the belt still on and it won't slip.

Then take the belt off.

You hold it still with the belt on.

Or a long, thick screwdriver against a bolt and the center shaft. Although the last one cannot be loosened this way.

also remove the two fan shroud bolts and remove the overflow tank hose to the radiator when pulling the hole thing out

They lick to "stick" on there a little, so don't be surprised if it doesn't exactly fall off when the last bolt comes out.
