I just did mine and here's how to salvage what you have:
1. The shaft is toast. You need to cut it off (I used a hacksaw, took
about 5 minutes). Make sure you are cutting in a spot which will allow
you to withdraw it from the bellhousing once it's in two pieces (the
shaft that is).
2. You can salvage the fork by drilling out the pin from the shaft. Just
make sure to protect the threads on the upper part of the fork. I used
short sections of metal pipe in the right size to surround the drill
bit. The lower part of the fork has a hole which is actually much larger
that the point of the pin so once you've drilled out the pin from the
shaft, the rest of the pin will fall out easily from the lower part of
the fork.
If you do all this and still can't remove the shaft from the fork, you
may have a distorted fork in which case you will probably need to buy a
new one of these as well. Mine was ok so I don't know if there is som
eway to avoid it if yours is bent.
Hope this helps.
