You were wise not to try clamping it in a vise to loosen the freehub bolt. Oftentimes, those are on pretty tight.
The best way I know is to get a spare rim and a few spare spokes, and lace up the drive-side flange to said rim. It doesn't have to be a professional job, just so that you can hold onto the rim while turning the hex wrench.
