Once you get it split, just remove the bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel, and the pressure plate and the stuck clutch disc (lined plate) will most likely unstick and fall off the flywheel. If the clutch is in good shape, you can lightly sand the flywheel and the pressure plate and put it back together. It is possible for a clutch that won't release to be caused by lining that has come loose, or doubled up, so check for that. Be sure to note which side of the clutch plate goes against the flywheel, and reinstall it that way. (Assuming is was correct before.) Check out the pilot and throwout bearings while you're in there, and consider replacing them as PM, even if they seem OK. You'll need a clutch alignment tool to keep the lined plate centered as you reinstall the pressure plate. You can remove the transmission input shaft, and use that as your alignment tool, and while you're in there, replace the seal in the bearing retainer, to prevent leaks into the clutch housing. (You don't have to drain the tranny oil to do that, either.)
