Actually it has nothing to do with the pressure pin, it moves and the clutch plate moves out, the bearing just doesn't release so the drive portion spins free of the engine.
thats it.
clutch is three pieces. a pressure plate that moves, a pressure plate that stays still, and the gear is sandwiched in between.
the clutch is engaged from the factory, sits around in a container for two years, and the rubber friction pads simply stick themselves to the pressure plates due to the constant pressure. come time for operation, and things are stuck! the mobile plate moves (sometimes), but the gear is still locked to the other plate via the pads.
this here is a nice clear concise way of releasing said friction pads
(personally though, my thoughts on the original post was simply..."not even superman can push that pin in by hand...where is the cover and lever?" as well as "nice inversion" then i reread the bit about a parallel arm and reconsidered. )
