To access the clutch arm you'll need to remove the engine cover(under the parcel shelf.)

ps You need to use a penetrating oil(like plusgas) not wd40

The arm is usually seized where it enters the bellhousing and working a penetrating oil into that area and manipulation can often free it off. Once you get it moving again, then you need to keep it lubricated.
Here is someone's ingenious effort at doing that.

(Btw, that bit in the OP about Plusgas was my addition.
It should have been added to my reply not the original post.
As a mod you get extra buttons on posts and I pressed the wrong one.) I've now put it where it should have gone in the first place
