How to Remove Clutch Rotor Assembly Ryobi 780r?

Hi: I left the trimmer outside and the recoil pully assembly has rusted to the point that it will not retract. I need to remove the clutch rotor assembly to get to it. Can someone tell me how to remove that specific part?

clutch is screwed on, use a screwdriver stick it inside housing, becareful fins will break. look for recoil tabs,stick screwdriver in here. use channel locks to unscrew clutch.

Down in the center of the outer shell of the clutch is a Torx screw, T-25 if I remember correctly. Remove it and the clutch will easily come off. Before reassembly, put some light grease on the clutch shaft.
