Clutch won't disengage.

Cb550f2 - the clutch isnt disengaging. I've taken it apart to check the plates aren't stuck together. Just wondering now as a first step to understanding and fixing it, what exactly should move in there?....

When I pull in the clutch handlebar lever, it raises the lever by the kick start and the cam in the cases pushes the actuating arm which pushes the 'pushrod- with- two-ball bearings' thing. Then what? What moves after that and in which direction?

Also, I think someone may have been in there before me:
If I'm missing the washer behind the circlip on the clutch basket, is that a major problem?!

If I push the ball bearing rod thing, should I be able to see the plates separate? (at the moment I can't get any movement)

Should the actuating inside the case arm have a spring on top of it? Currently mine doesn't and the arm just flops forward when I try to install the case. I saw a thread elsewhere that says the spring which is behind the arm on mine, should be in front of the arm (see piccie).

If I tighten the 4 bolts and plate too much would that stop it working?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Found the service manual figure 356.. looks like my spring should be in front of the arm, not behind so I need to fix that.

Any thoughts about the other questions though?!
