Default Replacing impeller in Craftsman Electric Leaf Blower/Vac

you are right they are designed to remove items that are screwed on and on
the item in question the end of the armature will have a slot in it for a
screwdriver in it to hold it or it will stick out far enough so a soft jaw
vise can hold it.
Sticking something into a fan blade no matter how substantial is not the
proper way and will always have a risk of doing damage. these unit in
question here do not have a hole to lock the armature / rotor with a pin of
sorts. this is more common on weedtrimmers to remove the spool assembly.
