I have always found compression to be enough . Make sure the de comp button is out . An aluminum or copper drift on one of the clutch arms and a stiff whack with a No 5 copper and hide mallet . LH thread remember . Should be little direction of rotation for " off " arrows cast on to the clutch to remind you  .

It always concerns me that you may break one of the legs off the boss using this method.

A lot does rest on how often the clutch had come off in the past. Some are damn difficult and need "The BIG gun" to shift them...038s, 044s and O88s seem to be favourites to be locked solid.
