John,

I have had this problem before and I cut the end of the throw out
bearing actuator shaft off at the place where it enters the bellhousing
with a sawzall and then pressed the remainder of it out of the center of
the clutch lever with a hydraulic press!  Then I had to install a new
clutch actuator shaft into the bell housing.  That bugger came apart but
it wasn't pretty :-(

I have the actuator shafts in stock if you find you need one.
