turn the bike over to where the clutch side is facing the ground. and to prevent the ball from seizing up on the rod again u can do one of two things. u can by a clutch saver which u can get from any engine builder or performance shop just about or u can take the stock push rod and ball and heat it red ass hot and drop it in a bucket of water this changes the temper of the steel and make it not weld itsselft together anymore

I tried turning it over, I put some extra oil down the shaft also to try to make it slide but it just wont go. I have a magnet that can pull it, but its not powerfull enough to pull it all the way threw.

O No I had the same thing happen to my shee you have to spilt the Crank Case. The Rod is probably mushroomed against the Clutch push lever.

take the actuator arm out you need a dremel and a long bit. what happens is when it welds the rod gets so hot that it melts into the actuator arm and creates burrs on the end of the rod making it so you can't get it out. take the magnit you have stick it on the basket end of the rod you should be able to spin it around take a mag light shine it through the actuator hole and you will be able to see the burrs on the end dremel away. this will save you from splitting the cases.and change the tranny oil after 1st ride. hope this helps
