How can I repair my Ryobi brushcutter PBC-3046YB?

The clutch on my Ryobi brushcutter/strimmer PBC-3046YB is starting to play up. I managed to remove the front assembly via 4 Torx screws, therefore exposing the clutch assembly. However, I cannot see how to remove the clutch assembly from the drive shaft or whatever. I have a fairly good technical background but this has got me stumped.

I think same model as mine, PB 30 something.
Again Tork, from front end, into unit. It is a long tube type from engine, for every thing else to fix to. Need to lock the piston, I seem to remember, that I used a flat peice of brass, inserted into the exhaust, But you could take end off, and lock the big end there. But they use tork. A lot
