Shove a flat blade screwdriver in between the other studs and the shaft of the fan. Always work for me, or you could make the belt really tight by: 1 pushing on the belt, 2 adjusting the tension on the alternator to make the belt stop slipping.

You don't need to remove the fan to put the shroud on. The bottom circular piece of the shroud unclips so you can slide the shroud down without interference, then just clip the piece back on after install. Although this is for a GTR, not sure about your setup but check for this.

+1. Ratchet ring spanners and magnet on a stick FTW on this job.

even easier way that i use is to leave the belt on there tight, then if it still spins just push on the long part of the belt which causes more tension and normally stops the belt from spinning while you undo the nuts.
