Default Condenser fan motor replacement (help)

I'm almost done replacing the condenser fan motor on my 04 1500 hemi as it gave out last week.

I got a new replacement motor and was able to get the fan blade off the shaft of the motor but I can't figure out how to tighten the bolt back securing the blade to the motor???

It's a reverse threaded bolt, but I can't get any leverage to turn it without the whole motor shaft spinning.

Is there a way to lock the shaft into place while turning the bolt???

I'm baffled.

my Bad. I was missing a part.

There's a sprocket looking piece that goes around the fan motor shaft that looks the blade to the shaft. I failed to transfer that from the old motor to the new one.

Once that part was in place, everything went well.
