that's why I sold mine

Those clutch pry bars don't work due to the rubber boot on newer slave cylinders. Apparently, in the old days they didn't come with boots so it was easy to fit the prybar fingers in. My neighbor and I just replaced the clutch in his '86 900t. We unbolted the slave and, as the other post mentioned, pried the slave and fingers in with a pickle fork. I was able to fit the spacer ring in but not tightly because the slave hit the flywheel, preventing me from prying it in even farther. So I loosened all six pressure plate bolts and fitted two wrenches (at 3 and 9 oclock) in to act as spacers between flywheel and pressure plate. That brought the pressure plate away from the flywheel about 1/2 inch and i was able to pry the slave and fingers in plenty enough. I use mityvac one-person brake bleeding handpump to bleed clutches. It's about $25 at any parts store. You might want to replace the bearing in center of flywheel. It could be why your shaft doesn't want to come out. I once had the bearing separate and the inner half was stuck to end of the shaft. I had to cut the shaft in half to get the clutch out!
