I had the reverse problem, my clutch wouldn't stay engaged. The clutch mechanism is very simple. Once you take it apart I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. You can use a flathead screwdriver like another lister mentioned, I just ripped the two sides apart using brute force... a finesse type of brute force, I didn't want to break anything. Sounds to me like you can push the lever away but it doesn't disengage? Moving the lever has no effect? There is a cam that's part of that lever assembly and it's held in place with two tiny pins. Once those pins break the cam can turn free of the lever .. that was my problem, might not be the same problem but that's where I'de start. Good luck.
