Hit it with a rubber mallet

... don't hit it there is a reason, either, pop off the c-clip on the clutch fork and pull the shaft that holds it out, or disconnect the pressure plate from the flywheel.

I had the same problem, listen to what has been said: Pull the pressure plate bolts or release the clutch fork.

Spent hours trying to figure out WTF was gong on before realizing what was wrong

No, just PULL on the fork.
