You shouldn't need any special tool to hold it. If it does try to turn, you could squeeze the belt midway with one hand or I guess use a C clamp. I didn't need to to that though.
2nd. part of your question, yes, you take off the large nut and washer that holds the variator. Then it will come apart.
It was several years ago that mine did that, and I didn't have an impact wrench at the time so it was a real pain to get that bolt to break loose. I never knew if a flipped roller caused the belt to break or if it was the other way around but I decided to go back and use sliders based on so many comments on this board about the advantages.
Lastly, be on the lookout for remains of the old belt on or around the shafts and the back pulley and clutch area. At least on mine, it was not nearly as hard to remove, but you can imagine if there is stuff in there that doesn't belong that would cause jerky-ness as well.
