Propagating my cycad

I have a cycad in my yard here in Florida (St. Petersburg/Tampa area) that is more than 30 years old. I have recently trimmed back all excess growth on the trunk and at the base of the trunk and all the dead fronds. I noticed today that there is new growth on the trunk from certain bumps on the trunk and down at the base of the trunk.
My question is can I separate the one at the base of the trunk to make a new plant? And what about these growths on the trunk? Just trim them off again or can they also be separated from the trunk into new plants?

You can dig these out if they are fully formed. Those smaller areas may be adventitious roots, so I would not cut them off until you know whether these are roots or shoots. When they are a little larger, you can remove them and plant them.
