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.

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.
