How to Divide old Rubber Plant?

sleepywhippet

Hello everybody,

I have a large multi-trunk rubber plant that has become quite unstable over the years as one of the trunks has grown at a steep angle to one direction (as the plant grew, it, unfortunately, became harder and harder to rotate).

My question is this: If I want to split this one trunk from the rest of the plant, what would be the best way to do so? Should it be done at the root? Or can I saw off the trunk at the bend and root it somehow? Attaching pictures.

I'd really appreciate your input, I care about this plant very much and do not want to hurt it.
