That is a new one. With the engine running, push the clutch in and out several times. It should come loose. I have no idea what type of glue you used, but it must be strong.

Yes, a very novel approach to aligning the clutch, let the engine run up to normal temp, the heat in the flywheel and clutch may soften the glue and operating the clutch should break the bond.

Can you shift gears with the engine off?
