Does the bell housing have a weep hole underneath? Maybe hose the innards with PB Blaster. Another idea might be pull the clutch slave to gain access inside. And bleed the clutch hydraulics too. What year is the jeep? Before '63 they were Willy's with fuel tank under the driver's seat, genuine classics.

the clutch sticks

every year over the summer in my scout. if we drive it back and forth and give the clutch some jerking about it always comes unstuck. so if you are buying it really cheap cause of the clutch, be sure to do this after you pay for it. heh heh

If possible, park the vehicle so that you have plenty of room in front. If not, make sure you have plenty of room behind.

Put the transmission in high gear (if you have room in front) or reverse (if not), and the transfer case in high.

Hold the clutch pedal to the floor, press hard on the brake, and engage the starter motor. That usually breaks it free on the first attempt.
