You don't need to pull the basket yet. The spring that loads the shifter is on the end of the shaft that is in the lower left corner from the basket. Move the shifter and you will see what I'm talking about. That spring is most likely your problem or the forked end came off the shift star. But to remove the nut on the basket use an impact to spin it off. You'll have to flatten the tabs on the lock washer first. If it still won't spin off then you will need the clutch hub pliars. They look like giant vise grips will bent tips. Trying to hold the basket with anything else will break off some ears.
