There must be something binding. When I adjust my clutch (pic below), both the plunger coming out of the slave, and the fork itself, will easily push back towards the slave with nothing but light finger pressure. However, I do remember changing out clutch fork return springs decades ago that were very, very strong. So strong in fact that you were afraid of trying to pull them with vise grips because, if they slipped, they could do some damage to you. Instead, we would bend the springs open and put coins between each round of the spring, maybe a dozen or so, and that would spread the spring out so you could easily put it on. Then you would just pull the coins out one by one. I haven't thought of that in a good 30+ years.
