air tools is the easiest way to do it...but if you dont have that...you can use an allen key to hold the shaft....
basically you get your socket place it on the nut...then insert allen key through center of socket, instead of using your ratchet wrench. now since your not using a ratchet wrench you will need a strap that will wrap around the socket...similar to what you use when you remove screw on oil filters....wrap the strap around the socket...preferably a rubber strap that will hold it tight....now holding the allen key so the shaft dont spin turn the socket and it should come loose...make sure the spring is compressed for this approach

allen key to hold the shaft from the top
place socket over nut...insert allen key through back of socket
no ratchet required
rubber strap...like the ones used to remove oil filters
wrap strap around socket...hold the allen key and turn
make sure spring is compressed for this approach
