Take the adjusting nut off the clutch adjustment bolt. Put a washer with ID smaller than the nut and against the adjusting plate. Tighten the nut down the washer back on the adjusting bolt, and that will allow you to take the 5 adjusting nuts off without disassembly of the spring and pressure plate. Another way is just to slowly back off the 5 nuts, and you can put them back together later. The first way saves you some time.
Once you get the clutch plates off, you should be able to pull the disks and basket. Now re-install the clutch hub nut to protect the mainshaft end. Give the nut a couple of raps with a heavy 2lb hammer, and the clutch hub should pop loose. The best way is to have a puller, but you don't have one, so try the "whacking" method. Be careful not to damage the tranny mainshaft end. Good luck.
