No problem bro. I always just use a 3/8 butterfly impact and a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter. The 3/8 butterfly has a max tq of about 50ft lbs so i think that works nicely. Prob not the optimum method but works for me.  (Y)

If you have any plumber or pipe fitter buds, tell them you need to borrow a 14" strap wrench

I was trying to replace a basket late this afternoon as well but didn't have a socket big enough for the bolt on the basket.  Any idea how big that is?  Looks to be about 28mm or so.

FYI--I did a variation of the belt method.  I used a piece of 5/16 rubber fuel line.  It fit perfectly (squished) between the basket and the center, plus left a good "handle".

An old automotive belt and vise grips can work like Dez said above. 

I picked up the Tusk clutch tool a few years ago and have used it multiple times for various projects not all quad related.  It's worthy of a spot in the toolbox.

Google clutch basket tool

There was one vid using a belt and pliers to hold the inner basket from turning while an impact spun the nut off

Does anyone know of a slick way to remove a clutch basket using hand tools?  I'm trying to avoid buying "the tool".
