If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
The starter clutch is behind the flywheel/rotor, so it must come off before you can do anything else.
The only way I know of to remove the rotor without damaging it is by using a puller, which you appear to have.
Perhaps the simplest method of dealing it would by tightening the puller bolt very firmly, then tapping the same bolt with a hammer, preferably one of 1 and 1/2 pounds or more, not a lightweight one.
You should not hit it hard, but hit it repeatedly, allowing a second or two between hits. Using a heavier hammer just means the impact will focus on the bolt, whereas a light hammer may bounce, and not induce enough vibration to do much.
You will probably have to give the bolt an extra half turn or so as it begins to work, and then it should pop right off.
This can cause enough vibration to indice the rotor to come loose.

YOU MUST USE THE CORRECT PULLER, a jaw type puller will ruin the rotor..

The puller will screw on the threads right behind the nut you just removed. Then all you do is tighting the bolt on the end of the puller while using a wrench to hold the puller still.
The pullers are round with threads inside and have a bolt threaded on the end.
The puller should look like one of these,

puller bolt
puller bolt
the center bolt on the top triple tree is the correct diameter and thread pitch to remove the rotor.
18mm X 1.5mm if you don't like the length get a longer bolt or use a bearing or piece of steel as a inner shim to do the pushing
tension it up and use shock(hammer) and/or heat on the center part of the rotor
