I changed the clutch plates and accidentally squeezed the clutch which made the clutch push rod come out so that I can't get the pressure plate back on. How do I depress the push rod?
Pull the slave cylinder off and push the piston back in the cylinder then replace all should be ok.

The clutch lever must have been pushed in when i tried to install the push rod the first time so the push rod didn't get pushed in all the way.

That is more than enough movement. Most probably don't move half that much. All they have to do is release the spring pressure from between the plates.

If you put synthetic oil or an oil with "Special" additives in the gearbox the cork on the fiber friction plates may be swollen. The swelling can cause the clutch to stay engaged, Only use standard 10w40 motor oil in the gearbox. You will need new fiber friction plates if that is what has happened. Normally the only other three things that would cause the problem are a worn shift arm, a bent push rod and a badly worn cable.

clutch pushrod should just pull out as it should be a 2 piece clutch pushrod model, earlier models were 1 piece and you had to remove clutch cover and pressure plate to remove. hopefully the seal is ok.
