Stuck clutch?

Stuck clutch?
'76 FXE....I used the bike last week, drove it into the garage, parked it and changed the front fork oil. Every thing was fine. Today I rolled it outside, started it right up and pulled the clutch in to pop it into gear. BAM! goes into gear and stalls. NO CLUTCH. I started it in gear to ride it down the road to see if it would free up. It didn't. I think the clutch plates are actually stuck together. Is this possible? My shop manual lists the problem as gummy plates. Do I have to take the whole clutch out and disassemble it to clean the plates? Seems like a big job. HELP!

Cable is fine. I even un-adjusted and re-adjusted it. The clutch rod looks right and seems to be in the right position and is working. I took the clutch cover off and every think looks right in there, the outer plate moves when i squeeze the clutch lever. It just does not disengage the transmission! The original shop manual calls the problem a gummy clutch. Does not seem right to me either but it just won't disengage and it worked fine a week ago.
