I have one...

It looks like you are supposed to use a wrench on the nut and an allen key in the shaft. Of course the nut is inset such that a wrench won't go on it, but a 24mm socket will. Of course you can't stick a ratchet on the socket and still use the allen key... no problem, been there before, I have large vice grip pliers designed to hold pipe, so I can hold a 24mm socket from the outside and still use the allen key (and I have a big allen key for this). I can apply *a lot* of force to this nut that way before the vice grips slip... no luck...
So it looks like you can't easily secure the shaft with an allen key. I'm a bit concerned about messing up the pulley and fan. I tried blocking the fan's movement (with a big bolt vs the housing) while using a long ratchet on the nut, but it was a lot of force again and no movement, to the point that I was concerned about wrecking the part I'm trying to save...
I have an impact gun, and for a lark, I tried blasting it without jamming anything in the fan, including doing fast reversals of direction... shaft spins of course. How did you do it? Did you jam something in the fan? Clamp the fan in a vice? I'm just trying to avoid damaging this!
