Separating Cush Drive From Clutch Basket

[Fostereast]

I am trying to separate the cush drive from the clutch basket from a '73 T140. The assembly is off the bike. From looking at an exploded view, it looks like the clutch center (centre) should push off the back of the basket, with only a key holding it in. Any advice on separating the cush and basket will be appreciated.

Update: I ended up tackling it again. Tight fit, but, was able to press it out. the roller bearings were rusty and it needed to be taken apart and updated. I'll also check the rubbers and spider for wear when I get to that part of the restoration.

The spline interface often requires a pressing out (or whacking with plastic hammer and soft drift)
