I use a leather gloved hand and breaker bar. Hold it and rotate against each other.
I have used a C-clamp attached to the side of the mower deck to block the blade. An impact wrench is great for breaking the bolts loose.
I was thinking the C clamp would work well.
Just don't use the impact to tighten it. You can seriously f up the shaft doing it that way, and if it's the crankshaft of the engine, that will be even more expensive.

Not another dime.
I drive my lawn tractor up on small purpose designed ramps and wedge a piece of firewood between the blade and the deck as others have said. Works fine.
Here is a video showing how I do it on my riding mower:

I too am in the 2x4 or chunk of firewood camp. Only way I have ever done it.
If only we could do basic maintenance on a car like we do our mowers.
