Default Clutch Hub Removal

I've done a search already but I can't seem to find exactly what I need. Please see the fiche below to see exactly which parts I'm referring to.

I fuqued up royally today while attempting to adjust my clutch. I over-torqued the push rod screw to the point that the "teeth" that hold the grooves for the diaphragm spring snap ring sheared off nearly putting out my eye!

However, the spring, seat and snap ring conveniently landed perfectly on my lap though

Anyway, can I remove JUST the clutch hub (part 9) itself without taking off everything that sits behind it like parts 15, 16, 10 and 14 etc?

you need to take the clutch pressureplate and discs etc out why not change the adj bolt, and snapring and try that the groove should still be ok? no?

Thanks for the input but the top parts of the grooves that are the "teeth" of the hub have completely exploded off! The hub needs to be replaced...

I found my answer and it's NO! The shell and hub are pressed together with the bearing all together.

how i see that parts explosion is, its not a pressed assembly that needs to be replaced as a assembly. it comes in pieces. you may need a press to seperate the parts, but it does come apart. i've found that some times parts like that will come apart with a just a tap or light hit with the handle end of a hammer..

#15 snap ring holds # 16 bearing into #10 shell. #14 snap ring holds #9 hub into #10 shell through the #16 bearing.

removing 14 snap ring will allow separation of the hub and shell.

Thanks for the input but the only way that inner hub is coming out of the outer hub is by beating the snot out of it or pressing it out. I'm putting a new bearing in so it's getting pressed back in nice and gently.
