its got a release bearing behind the friction lining, the pin will not budge, whats the best way to get it off? does the clutch have to be in a specific location?

Might be best if you repost your question only this time give more info on what it is you want to do and what you want to know. The posting you have put on isnt very clear

 

 

sorry, im trying to change the clutch, its a 2003 c5 2.0 HDI, gearbox refusing to come off but can turn around 60degrees

ok sort of getting it. Im assuming that the thrust bearing has went through the pressure plate. This is assuming youve got every thing disconected from the box and you can rotate it but it just wont seperate from the engine. check the fulcrum arm and see if it will move back and forth if it is jammed right up against the end of the box and wont move then that is what has happend. if so the only way will be brute force to split the box from the engine. try to keep the engine and box straight at all times. You could try levering or hiting the fulcrum arm to see if it will pull the bearing out. keep us informed though
