One thing on your side is that there could be 9 or ten less years of rust and corrosion holding this one on. Other than that don't expect this one to be all that much different than the last one (sorry, I wish the news were better for you).
It's impossible to tell what the actual problem is without being there, and sometimes it's impossible to tell until you take it apart. If the disk is rusted or just stuck somehow, to the casting and/or pressure plate you might get by with a couple of "sharp" but not too hard, blows with a brass hammer to the front pulley/casting, but I wouldn't expect any miricals. Chances are, you're in for a tear down and rebuild. On the bright side, you'll have a great working pto that will last 30+ years when you're finished. How cool will that be!
Good luck with it.
