oc3 clutch

[canada bob]

My oc3 has been sitting since last fall and now the clutch will not disengage. Is there some something to thump or lubricate with pen oil to free it, or am I looking at a tear down.  Canada Bob

Can you start it in gear and drive it around? You might be able to free the clutch working it while it's moving or better, loaded.

It's either the clutch facing is stuck to the flywheel, or its frozen on the splines. It's really not that hard to unbolt the clutch housing to get in there. If starting and driving it in gear doesn't work, you'll probably have to take it apart. If you take the universal shaft out, you might try striking the end of the shaft, just use something soft like a brass hammer or punch so you don't screw up  the end of the shaft.
