Edger blade replacement

I just bought a used Kee walk behind edger and it needs the blade replaced. I had to guess at how this was done as I didn't get the instructions with it. By holding the old blade still and cranking the nut with a socket I removed the old blade. I then put on the new blade, the washer, the nut, and then reversed the process to install the new blade. Problem is, once you get the nut somewhat tight the blade, pulleys, and belt all start to turn and you can't tighten up the nut anymore. The nut does appear to be as tight as it was before, but I'm not certain. I couldn't find any place to put another wrench to hold the pulley still while tightening up the nut holding on the blade. I did start the edger and the nut didn't seem to come loose, but I just want to be sure I did this right before I use it. So does anyone have any experience putting on a replacement blade on this edger?
