Question HELP---500E fan clutch removal

HELP

I have recently needed to remove the fan clutch on this car and can not see how to lock the pulley so it can be removed. I have done this many times on my 300CE but cannot find a slot or hole for the tool to go into on the 500E.

I am currently replacing the fan clutch with a BEHR and a new BEHR radiator also.

Can someone shed some light on the V-12 swap of the fan clutch?

Moose

Screwdriver lock

What i've done on other cars is use two of the same size wrenches.... one to hold a nutt and one to turn / loosen an adjacent nut,
OR
Use a flat blade screw driver to lay across the bolt(Over one and under another) wedging between 2 bolts. You can then loosen the nut and turn and repeat on the next nut. Before you start the job, check to make sure that your dealer has a belt tensioner in stock. They go out fairly easily and your may pop. That way if it does, you're not on your back for a week awaiting shipment from out of town
