If you cannot lock the shaft with the screw driver you can remove the fan shroud and lock the shaft with a pair of locking pliers. No need to remove the motor from the machine. This photo is to demonstrate the process.

If the parts are REALLY tight you can use a pipe wrench to hold the shaft. No need to remove the motor from the machine. This photo is to demonstrate the process.

Generally over tight parts can be avoided by applying a light coating of anti-seize compound to the threads of the motor shaft.
