Heres how to release the clutch fork / arm whatever you wanna call it..

Remove Starter motor to reveal hex plug..


Remove hex plug with suitable tool.. try sticking your finger in and twisting if you want


When removed it looks like this if you have been drinking..


And like this if you fall over..


Once removed Screw a M8?? / M10? Bolt in (10mm spanner needed on the head)


Start to pull on it with mole grips or usual trick with a socket washers and nuts etc.. Gentle tapping maybe required.. it should start to slide out as shown..


Keep pulling as its this long...


You can then unclip the spring at the top and release the arm from the release bearing..

Hope this Helps..

David

Or you can unbolt the pressure pate ( it can be unbolted one at a time, thru the starter hole I think, but havent tried myself ) and remove it with the box, still attached to the fork.

You could also, if you are very lucky, manage to release the clip that holds the release bearing to the presure plate, but this would be very tricky to do.
