RE: Clutch hub removal
They make a puller for HD clutch hubs. Yours is probably frozen on. Generally they can be gotten off by putting pressure on the puller, then whacking the center bolt with a hammer, putting a little more pressure, whacking, etc. Unless it's completely rusted/galled to the shaft, it'll suddenly pop off and scare the crap outten ya. Some heat might help, but be careful not to ruin the temper of the shaft.

RE: Clutch hub removal
you can make a puller for the clutch hub if you have a round piece of steel laying around, just drill clearance holes for the studs on the hub and drill and tap a hole in the center for a 1/2" x 13 bolt. Take the nuts off of the studs on the hub, put the puller on and replace the nuts. Take a long 1/2" bolt and grind about a 60 degree angle on the end and screw into the center of the puller. It will push up against the center of the mainshaft and pop the clutch hub off. The end of the mainshaft and the inside of the clutch hub are a matched taper with just a piece of keystock and keyway to keep it from spinning.
