your clutch basket should just slide right off as well. if it doesnt the bearing on that shaft is prolly f**ked.

You could use a gear puller but that is getting extream. You should be able to put two screw drivers behind and gently pry outwards. A heal bar works good too. Just don't pry to hard, everthing there is aluminum and will crack or break.

With the clutch plates out the basket should spin free, it rides on a bushing. The clutch housing is what is stuck. It is setting just inside of the clutch basket. If you pull the basket they both should come off. There is a thrust washer between them. So that is the extra washer you have when you get the basket off.

I have use a puller on the clutch basket, but I only turned the bolt with a wrench holding it at the box end so I didn't have too much leverage. If it don't come off ya don't want to keep turnen.
