AC Compressor Clutch

Hi,
How do I get the clutch out?
I've taken the 10mm nut off from the center of the clutch plate. Don't want to pry or force anything and risk damaging anything. There must be a method...anybody done this before ...ideas?
thanks.

Volvo sells a special puller but it is actually fairly simple if you pick up steering wheel puller. It needs to have three slots.

Inside of the rivets on the face of the clutch are three holes that are threaded. Find some appropriately sized bolts that thread into those holes and then use the puller to pop the clutch off.

Stuck again

If it wasn't for the above two inputs I wouldn't have even gotten to this part so thank you very much. The mentioned link has excellent info, however it's not very clear on getting the clutch off the compressor.

Using the three threated holes I've gotten off the 1st plate, but now I don't know how to get the rest off?? Should I use a puller like this one...(plz see below). Also there is a pin inside the shaft...I have no idea if that needs to come out before or after?

Thanks agian for your help.
