So you have the nut off right? It often takes a ton of force to pull the clutch basket off the countershaft/output shaft (i'm not sure which one it is in this situation. Hitting the shaft lightly with a rubber mallet while trying to pull the basket off should do the job. After all that use, you get a bit of a friction fit.

Air impact works, also a clutch basket holder tool will work. Those are cheap, $30 or so.

Impact wrench. Its useable for other things besides just a clutch. All dependent that you have an air compressor though

Harbor freight. $120 for a decent one that will more than do the trick for small jobs, seating tires, inflating care tires, etc etc etc.

Harbor Freight sells a decent electric impact wrench that works well for occasional use too.
